Lung cancer biopsy showdown: which method yields better genetic data?

NCT ID NCT06105801

First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study compares two ways of taking tissue samples from lung tumors to see which one gives better material for genetic testing. About 250 adults with suspected lung cancer will be randomly assigned to get either a standard needle biopsy or a newer freezing technique. The goal is to find out which method more reliably provides enough tissue for tests that guide personalized treatment.
