Yield of Cryo Biopsy in Lung Cancer, Solitary Pulmonary Nodule

Thank you

Trial Information


Solitary pulmonary nodule are a diagnostic dilemma. Nowadays not only the basic tissue
diagnosis is necessary, molecular signals are state of the art. Therefore more tissue is
necessary. With a cryoprobe the amount of tissue is increased compared to the classical
forceps biopsy.

Until now, the use of the cryoprobe ismĀ“t show in peripheral lung tissue.
