  Background: Distinguishing the histological subtype of lung cancer is extremely important because chemotherapy agents may have different chemotherapeutic effects in different histological subtypes. This study retrospectively evaluated the characteristic differences in the cytomorphological and radiological features of nonsmall cell lung cancer. Methods: This study population included 50 lung cancer patients who were diagnosed based on bronchoscopic biopsy findings and underwent surgery from April 2011 to May 2016. Cyotological specimens (Papanicolaou’s staining) were separately analyzed by two experienced cytotechnicians. The associations between the clinicopathological data, as well as the preoperative radiological features on computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) and cytomorphological analyses were analyzed...
