Abstract

Background: Physician-led thoracic ultrasound (TUS)-guided biopsies provide a prompt route to tissue diagnosis in pleural and peripheral lung malignancies. This retrospective study reviews the diagnostic performance and safety of this approach in a UK District General Hospital.

Methods: Time to biopsy, diagnostic yield and complication rate were analysed in a cohort of 49 patients undergoing ultrasound-guided tissue sampling between September 2019 and December 2022.

Results: Fifty-one TUS-guided biopsies were attempted. Mean time from decision to biopsy was 5 days. The overall diagnostic yield was 82%. Complication rate was low; 3 minor adverse effects were reported which led to no change in routine care.

Conclusion: This single centre retrospective study shows that physician-led TUS-guided biopsy provides a safe and timely method of obtaining a tissue diagnosis in thoracic malignancy. It offers an alternative to computer tomography (CT)-guided or thoracoscopic biopsies and should be considered in selected patients where local procedural expertise exists.

医生主导的胸部超声引导活检；地区综合医院的视角。

背景：医生指导下的胸部超声（TUS）引导活检为胸膜和周围肺部恶性肿瘤的组织诊断提供了一条捷径。这项回顾性研究回顾了英国一家地区综合医院采用这种方法的诊断效果和安全性：方法：对2019年9月至2022年12月期间接受超声引导组织取样的49名患者的活检时间、诊断率和并发症发生率进行分析：结果：共尝试了51例TUS引导活检。从决定到活检的平均时间为 5 天。总体诊断率为 82%。并发症发生率较低；报告了3例轻微不良反应，未导致常规护理的改变：讨论：这一单中心回顾性研究表明，由医生主导的 TUS 引导活检是获得胸部恶性肿瘤组织诊断的一种安全、及时的方法。它为计算机断层扫描（CT）引导或胸腔镜活检提供了一种替代方法，应考虑在当地有手术专长的特定患者中使用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
