New study tests if ultrasound can guide lymph node biopsies
NCT ID NCT07478913
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether the ultrasound patterns seen during a bronchoscopy (a scope down the throat) can help tell if enlarged lymph nodes in the chest are benign or malignant. Researchers studied 50 adults who already had a CT scan. The goal was to see if these patterns could guide where to biopsy, potentially making the procedure more accurate. The study is complete and focused on improving diagnosis, not on testing a new treatment.
