Bronchial cytology

Authoring team

Bronchial cytological sampling is performed throught the flexible bronchoscope:

  • the area of interest is washed in saline which is immediately aspirated
  • a flexible cytology brush may be used to collect cells which are subsequently smeared on a microscope slide

Bronchial cytology is commonly used in the diagnosis of lung tumours.
