Bronchoscopic techniques have seen significant advances in the last decade. The development and refinement of different types of endobronchial ultrasound and navigation systems have led to improved diagnostic yield and lung cancer staging capabilities. The complication rate of these minimally invasive procedures is extremely low as compared to traditional transthoracic needle biopsy and surgical sampling. These advances augment the safe array of methods utilized in the work up and management algorithms of lung cancer.
在过去十年中,支气管镜技术取得了显著进展。不同类型的支气管内超声和导航系统的开发与完善,提高了诊断率和肺癌分期能力。与传统的经胸针吸活检和手术取样相比,这些微创手术的并发症发生率极低。这些进展增加了肺癌诊断和管理算法中使用的安全方法范围。
