Overview
Biopsy is the diagnostic study of choice for adenocarcinoma of the lung.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
- Biopsy is helpful in the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the lung.
- Fine needle aspiration (FNA)[1]:
- CT guided FNA uses a small amount of tissue from a suspected lung tumour or from a lymph node in the chest.
- FNA may also be obtained during bronchoscopy, along with endobronchial ultrasound, to take samples of lymph nodes around the trachea and bronchi.
- Fine needle aspiration (FNA)[1]:
- Thoracentesis
- Thoracentesis may be done to remove fluid from around the lungs to see if it contains cancer cells.
