Summary
This study involved 104 adults who needed a pleuroscopy, a procedure to look at the lining around the lungs. The goal was to find the ideal number of tissue samples (biopsies) to take during the exam to get an accurate diagnosis while avoiding extra risk. Researchers measured how many biopsies were needed to reach a diagnosis and to collect enough material for further testing, as well as any complications.
