Abstract

The article tells about the evolution in the development of endoscopic diagnostic methods for early central lung cancer, from rigid bronchoscopes to modern high-resolution video endoscopes. The current multimodal diagnostic methods are described, including the recent data on the use of confocal laser endomicroscopy and endocytoscopy which allow to detect lesions caused by intramucosal cancer in the tracheobronchial tree as well as to study the cellular-level morphology in vivo. Long-term clinical experience of the P.A. Herzen Moscow Oncology Research Institute in the diagnosis of central lung cancer is presented.
