dc.description.abstract | Background: There is scarcity of data on asbestos fiber burden in lung and pleural malignancies. Aim: To evaluate asbestos fiber burden in biopsy samples of suspected lung and pleural malignancies. Study Design: This was a single-centre, observational study. Study Period: From August 2010 to July 2010. Setting: Department of Pulmonary Medicine, CSMMU, UP, Lucknow, a tertiary care hospital in India. Study Population: Suspected cases of lung and pleural malignancy. Materials and Methods: Biopsy tissues taken by computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy, bronchoscopic biopsy, and pleural biopsy by Cope's needle were analyzed for histopathology and asbestos burden by Haq et al.'s method. Results: 20 patients were studied. Mean fiber burden was 9.25 × 10 4 fibers/g. Average burden in lung malignancies (11 patients) was 9.178 × 10 4 fibers/g and in pleural tissue (9 patients) was 9.332 × 10 4fibers/g. Among the different cell types, mean fiber burden in squamous cell carcinoma was 8.99 × 10 4 fibers/g, in adenocarcinoma was 9.71 × 10 4 fibers/g, and in small cell carcinoma was 7.54 × 10 4 fibers/g. Mean fiber burden in bronchoscopic endobronchial biopsy tissue was 10.69 × 10 4 fibers/g, while in CT-guided biopsy was 8.60× 10 4fibers/g. Conclusion: Maximum number of fibers was found in adenocarcinoma. | en_US |
