Cytological examination of the sputum is nowadays mainly used for mass surveys among high-risk populations and in suspicious cases with normal X-ray films. In all other cases, bronchial brushing and percutaneous puncture-biopsy of the lung are preferred, being much more reliable. Several new bronchial cytology techniques have recently been developed but are not yet widely used. Their respective indications are governed by the facilities available and by the volume, site and characteristic features of the tumour.
如今，痰液细胞学检查主要用于高危人群的大规模筛查以及X线胸片正常的可疑病例。在所有其他情况下，支气管刷检和经皮肺穿刺活检更受青睐，因为它们更可靠。最近已经开发了几种新的支气管细胞学技术，但尚未广泛应用。它们各自的适应证取决于可用的设备以及肿瘤的大小、位置和特征。
