Yield of preneoplastic lesions in the upper airway and bronchus as detected by white light bronchoscopy and NBI bronchoscopy. The outcome is measured by HISTOLOGY YIELD BY WHITE LIGHT VERSUS NBI- The important pathology is moderate dysplasia or worse up to carcinoma in situ.<br><br>[At bronchoscopy/upper airway inspection];Yield of malignant lesions by CT chest[At time of bronchoscopy]
