Better biopsy? study tests if On-Spot lab check improves lung cancer sample quality
NCT ID NCT04945317
Summary
This study aims to find out if having a lab technician check tissue samples during a lung biopsy procedure helps doctors collect better quality material for advanced genetic testing. Researchers are comparing the standard biopsy method to one where a technician provides real-time feedback on sample quality. The goal is to reduce the need for patients to have repeat procedures because the first sample wasn't sufficient for all the necessary tests.
