Prognosis and recurrent patterns in bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.

abstract：RATIONALE:Airway hyperresponsiveness to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) has been validated as a surrogate marker for airway inflammation. We wished to know whether an abbreviated challenge at the final threshold dose would produce the same fall in FEV1 as a full, conventional dose-response challenge. METHODS:Seventeen p...
