Clinical Staging of Central Non-small Cell Bronchial Carcinoma
The aim of this study was to establish the value of clinical preoperative staging of central bronchial carcinoma according to TNM classification (cTNM). Postoperative histopathologic staging of bronchial carcinoma according to TNM classification (pTNM) was used as a reference value. The study included patients with central non-small cell bronchial carcinoma. Preoperative staging was correctly assessed in 50%, underestimated in 32%, and overestimated in 18%. The difference between preoperative and postoperative staging was not statistically significant. In order to be as precise as possible on preoperative bronchial carcinima staging, all diagnostic methods available should be used to distinguish resectable from nonresectable tumors. The extent of diagnostic work-up should be coordinated with therapeutic consequences.
