First seen May 07, 2026 ยท Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a newer biopsy method called transbronchial cryobiopsy (using a freezing tool) is safer than the standard method for taking lung tissue samples. About 100 adults with known or suspected cancer will take part. The goal is to see if this technique causes fewer complications and gives better samples for diagnosis.
