Abstract

The transthoracic puncture biopsy was performed under surveillance of X-ray computed tomography in order to verify diagnoses in 80 patients with lung tumors. This procedure allowed verification of diagnosis and choice of treatment strategy in 95% of cases. The complications obtained as result of intervention didn’t bring severe character and were arrested in term of two days.
