    Debeljak, Andrej, 1940- ...
    Background. The aimof the study was to find out when and where it is the best toperform bronchoscopic needle aspiration (BNA) for confirmation of mediastinal lymph node metastases in patients with ... lung cancer. Methods. One hundred andfifteen patients without computer tomographyof the thorax in whom lung cancer had been suspected were included into the prospective study. BNA was performed right and left paratracheally and through the main carina. The smears were stained by May-Gruenwald-Giemsa and Papanicolaou. Results. Therewere99 patients with lung cancer, one with lymphoma and one with cancer of the colon. We found malignant cells in BNA of 37 patients, 35 of them had lund cancer. We confirmed malignant cells in 22 BNAs among 69 patients with central and in 10 BNAs among 30 patients with peripheraltumours. Among 30patients with cancer of the right lung. BNA confirmed metastases tothe rightparatracheal lymph nodes in 12, to the subcarinal in 14 and to the left paratracheal in 4 cases. Among 22 patients with cancer of the left lung we found metastases into the left paratrached lymph nodes in 9, to the subcarinalin 6 and to the right paratracheal in 7 cases. Conclusions. BNA should be performed right and left paratracheally and through the main carina for confirmation of mediastinal lymph nodes metastases, regardless of the typeand location of lung cancer.
