Lung cancer biopsy study: could less be more for genetic testing?
NCT ID NCT05560776
First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at people with suspected or confirmed non-small cell lung cancer who need a tissue sample for genetic testing. It compares taking 2 versus 3 samples from each lymph node during an ultrasound-guided biopsy to see if fewer samples still provide enough material. All participants also give a blood sample to check if a liquid biopsy can find genetic changes that the tissue biopsy might miss.
