Abstract

CT-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy has become the world standard as the most accurate starting point for the behavior and prognosis of lesions suggestive of lung cancer. An epidemiological, prospective, quasi-experimental, epidemiological intervention study was conducted in a cohort of 78 patients with lesions suggestive of lung cancer with the aim of evaluating the usefulness of BAAF guided by Computerized Axial Tomography in the histological diagnosis of lesions, suggestive of lung cancer in the Provincial Clinical Surgical Teaching "Celia Sánchez Manduley" of Manzanillo. We included 9 cases older than 80 years, 40% of the patients were between 50 and 64 years old, with a mean of 63.3. The right upper lobe presented 89% of the lesions. The average distance between the skin and the center of the tumor was 4.3 cm. The highest positivity was obtained in the right upper lobe with 82.5%. The histological diagnosis evidenced the presence of benign processes in 20.7% of the cases. Adenocarcinoma accounted for 51.3% followed by non-small cell carcinoma (21.8%). The relative risk of not being useful for diagnosis was higher in small lesions (4,3). Pneumothorax was presented as a complication in two patients. Fine needle aspiration biopsy guided by tomography in lung lesions is a safe procedure, with low complication rate, allowed to safely define the histological characteristics of lung lesions in most lung locations.
