Summary
This study involved 104 adults who needed a pleuroscopy, a procedure where doctors look inside the chest and take tissue samples from the lung lining. The goal was to find out how many samples are needed to make an accurate diagnosis without taking too many. Researchers counted the number of biopsies needed for diagnosis and for additional lab tests, and tracked any complications. The results will help guide doctors on the best number of samples to take in the future.
