The review article presents the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma and discusses reliable technologies for early detection, opening new avenues for research and practice in lung parenchymal preservation surgery.
Background: Endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common types of tumors located inside the tracheobronchial tree. Patients often present in advanced stages of the disease, which most often leads to a targeted therapeutic attitude of pneumonectomy. Practicing lung parenchyma-preserving surgery led us to undertake this review. Materials and methods: We used three search platforms-SCIENCE, MEDLINE, and PubMed-in order to identify studies presenting case reports, investigations, and reviews on endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma. We identified the clinical and paraclinical features of endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma. All the selected articles were in English and addressed the clinical criteria of endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma, autofluorescence bronchoscopy in endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma, imaging features of endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma, blood tumor markers specific to lung squamous cell carcinoma, and histopathological features of endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma. Results: In total, 73 articles were analyzed, from which 48 articles were selected as bibliographic references. We present the criteria used for the identification of endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma in order to highlight its main characteristics and the most reliable technologies that can be used for the detection of this type of cancer. Conclusions: The current literature review highlights the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to open new paths for research and early detection with respect to the frequent practice of lung parenchymal preservation surgery.
