Classifying the lung carcinoma into histologic type may serve as a guidance for the evaluation of the histologic morphology, clinical diagnosis, response to treatment and porgnosis. The histologic subtyping of samll cell carcinoma of the lung, however, usually shows features of more than one histologic subtype. Endobronchial biopsies of many tumors due to crush artefact sometimes render the tissue useless for diagnosis. We find-no significant differences in the clinical features and prognosis between the tw...
