Abstract
Our study showed that patients whose first bronchial washing cytology was reported "suspicious for malignancy" had 82 per cent positive predictive value for malignancy. Repeat bronchoscopy should be offered to those with a visible endobronchial mass, and transthoracic needle aspiration should be performed in patients with peripheral lesions.
