Diagnosing Peripheral Lung Lesions With Cryo Biopsies

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares cryo biopsies to forceps biopsies for diagnosing peripheral lung lesions in patients undergoing diagnostic work-up for suspected lung cancer. Cryo sampling freezes a small lung area to obtain larger tissue samples, which may improve diagnostic yield while maintaining a low risk of complications. Participants are adults undergoing bronchoscopy with planned forceps sampling, at Odense University Hospital and affiliate sites in Denmark. The study will assess whether cryo biopsies provide more conclusive pathology results than standard forceps biopsies. Safety and feasibility data will also be collected to guide future diagnostic approaches.
