Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS–TBNA) is performed to investigate mediastinal masses, predominantly in the context of staging of lung cancer. Other conditions ...

New guidelines confirm that for biomarker testing, navigation‑guided bronchoscopy yields lung tissue equal to that from ...

An RCT of 202 patients investigated by either EBUS–TBB plus bronchial washing (BW) or EBUS transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) plus TBB plus BW, reported diagnostic yields of 61% (57 out of 94) ...

The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) recently released a new clinical guideline on endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) specimen processing and ...

Molecular Profiling Using Next-generation Sequencing of Sufficient Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration and Liquid Biopsy Samples in Patients with Advanced Lung Cancer ...

A bronchoscopy with a transbronchial lung biopsy is a medical procedure that involves inserting a bronchoscope into the lungs. This device allows a doctor to remove a small amount of tissue to ...

Fine needle aspiration is a type of biopsy procedure. In fine needle aspiration, a thin needle is inserted into an area of abnormal-appearing tissue or body fluid. As with other types of biopsies ...

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid nodule is a procedure in which a small sample of cells is obtained from a thyroid nodule with the aid of a thin needle under ultrasound guidance.
