First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tested whether a new, thinner freezing probe (cryoprobe) works better than the usual forceps for taking lung tissue samples during a bronchoscopy. About 500 adults with lung disease took part. The main goal was to see which tool leads to a clear diagnosis more often, while also checking for bleeding and tissue quality.
