Records patients who had visited hospital within last 6 months were retrospectively analyzed their diagnostic modality. SPSS version 19 software was used statistical data. scan thorax, bronchoscopy, analyzed. The plus compared Their sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative accuracy diagnosing analyzed.Sixty-two considered, including 62.9% males mean age 55.5 years. In diagnosed cancer, found have 96.67% 90% difference between all individual approaches as well statistically significant P = 0.00001 Chi-square value 86.5909 owing low cytology. better bronchoscopy.Combined
