Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this trial is to assess PD1-lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage in patients with lung cancer, ILD and asthma.
Detailed description
In this trial, 20 patients with lung cancer, 10 patients with asthma and 10 patients with interstitial lung disease who have to undergo bronchocospy for medical reasons are enrolled. In each patient, bronchoalveolar lavage is performed to assess PD1-lymphocytes.
Interventions
Bronchoalveolar lavage is performed by instillation and suction of saline in the middle lobe during bronchoscopy. Cytological examination and flow cytometry will be performed to assess PD-1lymphoctes.
