Synchronous invasive or preinvasive bronchial lesions detected by autofluorescence bronchoscopy in patients with lung cancer

ABSTRACT

Objectives: In support with field cancerization theory, some patients with lung cancer [LC] will also have synchronous invasive or pre-invasive bronchial lesions. In this cross sectional - analytic study autofluorescence bronchoscopy [AFB] was used to assess the prevalence of synchronous lesions in patients with LC
