( 2d on x-ray, not 3 d) For example, an increase from 1-1.3 cm equals one doubling. A 1-2 cm increase relates to an 8-fold increase in volume. Bronchogenic carcinomas usually have a doubling time of 20-400 days Doubling times shorter than 20-30 days are seen in infections, infarction, lymphoma, or fast-growing metastases. Doubling times greater than 400 days are typically benign Absence of change in size of a nodule over 2 years is highly suggestive of a benign lesion. of course exceptions occur.

Because the yield from bronchoscopy is only 10-20% foe nodule< 2 cm in diameter, bronchoscopy and transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) may be helpful when the lesion is either endobronchial in location or near a large airway. TBNA may also be helpful in sampling the mediastinal nodes. TTNA--> accuracy of 90-95% when the lesion is 2 cm or l>, although the diagnosis is less accurate (60-80%) in lesions smaller than 2 cm. Confirming a specific benign diagnosis is more difficult (~70% accuracy); therefore, most lesions are characterized as nondiagnostic following TTNA. management ---if malignancy suspected REMOVE Edited by study_ing on 08/10/06 - 10:04 AM ___________________ If you yourself are at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world.
