Less than 15% of all patients survive five years after a diagnosis of lung cancer. This poor prognosis is attributed to a lack of early detection. Among the methods of early diagnosis of bronchial cancer, autofluorescence bronchoscopy allows for the early identification of preinvasive bronchial lesions. The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate the contribution of the autofluorescence bronchoscopy, on a hospital site, over a period of one year.
