STUDY OBJECTIVES
To assess the diagnostic accuracy and safety of flexible bronchoscopy with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images and ultrafast Papanicolaou (UFP) stain in evaluating solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs).
DESIGN
Prospective study of bronchoscopies performed between June 2000 and June 2002.
PATIENTS
One hundred consecutive patients with SPNs underwent bronchoscopy with MPR and UFP (MPR and UFP group). The data on historical control were collected in a retrospective fashion, between July 1997 and June 2000.
METHOD
All information obtained from MPR regarding the leading bronchus of the SPNs was used to guide biopsy. Samples obtained by curette biopsies were stained with UFP and evaluated by a cytopathologist during the bronchoscopy procedure.
RESULTS
There were 88 malignant and 12 benign lesions in the MPR and UFP group, and 97 malignant and 3 benign lesions in the historical control group. The total diagnostic accuracy of bronchoscopy in the MPR and UFP group (91%) was significantly higher compared with the historical control group (58%) [p < 0.05]. Although the yield of bronchoscopy was significantly related to the lesion size in the historical control group (p < 0.05), there was no significant association between the diagnostic yield and lesion size in the MPR and UFP group. The diagnostic yield for SPNs < 4.0 cm in the MPR and UFP group was significantly higher compared with the historical control group (p < 0.05). In addition, the diagnostic yield in both upper lobes in the MPR and UFP group was significantly higher compared with the historical control group (p < 0.05). On the contrary, the complication rate was significantly lower in the MPR and UFP group (2%) compared with the historical control group (13%) [p < 0.05].
CONCLUSION
Combined use of the MPR image and UFP during flexible bronchoscopy improved diagnostic accuracy and safety in evaluating SPNs using a double-hinged curette.
