In conclusion, the previously described techniques have been found useful, alone or in combination, for the accurate assessment of the patient with pulmonary disease. These techniques may be used either to establish a diagnosis or to determine the extent of disease in order to plan further operative or nonoperative treatment. Future developments in tumor biology regarding radioactive labeling of tumor-specific compounds may lead to a re-evaluation of the need for these invasive diagnostic procedures. Until this occurs, judicious use of these surgical procedures is necessary for the accurate diagnosis of pulmonary disease.
总之，已发现先前所述的技术单独或联合使用，对于准确评估肺部疾病患者很有用。这些技术可用于确立诊断或确定疾病范围，以便规划进一步的手术或非手术治疗。肿瘤生物学中关于肿瘤特异性化合物放射性标记的未来发展可能会导致对这些侵入性诊断程序必要性的重新评估。在此情况发生之前，明智地使用这些外科手术对于准确诊断肺部疾病是必要的。
