Summary

This study tested whether adding a special laser imaging technique (nCLE) to a standard lung biopsy procedure helps doctors diagnose lung cancer more accurately in people with suspicious lung nodules. Only 3 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if the new method could provide a clear diagnosis on the first attempt.
