Pre-neoplastic bronchial lesions: possibilities of diagnosis and chemo-prevention
(Article in Romanian) Early diagnosis of pulmonary cancer is crucial in the fight against this disease. Pre-neoplastic bronchial lesions are the first stage in the evolution towards invasive cancers. This paper describes histological patterns of these pre-neoplastic bronchial lesions, as well as early, intermediate and late molecular disturbancies associated with this condition. The ways to early identification of these lesions are: a) bronchoscopy with laser-induced auto-fluorescence guided through Optical Coherence Tomography, which is able to identify celular and extracelular structures, from the celular surface or beneath it; b) PET-CT which identifies lesions over 6 mm; c) bio-markers: the sensitivity of ...
