Rapid on-site evaluation of touch imprint cytology in navigation bronchoscopy for small peripheral pulmonary nodules.
Cancer Cytopathology 2024 April
BACKGROUND: Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of cytopathology plays an important role in determining whether representative samples have been taken during navigation bronchoscopy. With touch imprint cytology (TIC), histologic samples can be assessed using ROSE. Although advised by guidelines, there have been almost no studies on the performance of TIC during navigation bronchoscopy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of TIC-ROSE (forceps/cryobiopsy) in combination with conventional ROSE (cytology needle/brush).
METHODS: In this single-center, prospective cohort study, patients who had pulmonary nodules with an indication for navigation bronchoscopy were consecutively included. The primary outcome of the study was the concordance of ROSE and the procedural outcome. The concordance rates of TIC-ROSE and the combination of TIC-ROSE plus conventional ROSE were compared.
RESULTS: Fifty-eight patients with 66 nodules were included. Conventional ROSE and TIC-ROSE were assessable in 61 nodules (90.9%) each. By combining both ROSE techniques, all sampled lesions were assessable. Combining conventional ROSE with TIC-ROSE showed concordant results in 51 of 66 cases (77.3%) versus 44 of 66 (66.7%) and 48 of 66 (72.8%) concordant results for conventional ROSE and TIC-ROSE alone, respectively, compared with the procedural outcome. There was no indication of tissue depletion as a result of TIC. The combined ROSE approach had a statistically significant higher concordance rate compared with conventional ROSE alone.
CONCLUSIONS: TIC-ROSE is a cheap, easily implementable technique that can result in higher concordant ROSE outcomes. This could lead to more efficient procedures and possibly higher diagnostic results. In a monomodality sampling setting with only histologic samples, TIC can provide ROSE.
