[Cytological aspects of therapeutic pathomorphism of lung squamous cell carcinoma during intratumor chemotherapy].

The paper shows the rate of pathomorphism, by comparing the major cytometrical indices of squamous-cell cancer of the lung before and after single-stage intratumoral chemotherapy on the basis of studies of puncture and intraoperative specimens from 13 patients. Morphometry of 1950 relatively preserved tumor cells was made. The degree of intratumor chemotherapeutic action on tumor cells was objectively reflected in a significant difference in the mean values of the area of the cytoplasm (from 325.

[The puncture cytological diagnosis of neoplasms of the mediastinum (11 years of experience)].

Routinely stained cytological preparations of puncture biopsy specimens of mediastinal tumors from 870 patients are examined. Diagnostically informative material is investigated in 759 (87.3%) cases; malignant tumors are diagnosed in 538 (62%) cases, benign in 221 (25.

[Effectiveness of transthoracic puncture in the diagnosis and treatment of neoplasms of chest organs].

A complex examination of 1400 patients with pathologies of the lungs and mediastinum was carried out using roentgenologic, endoscopic, bioptic and cytologic methods. Diagnosis was confirmed morphologically in 93.7% of cases.

[Effectiveness of transthoracic puncture in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer].

The complex examination of 1400 patients with pathologic masses of the lungs and mediastinal organs with the use of roentgenologic, endoscopic, puncture bioptic and cytologic methods was carried out. Morphologic verification of diagnosis was performed in 93.7% of the patients.
