Summary

Peripheral lung nodules seen on CT scans require a diagnostic evaluation as they commonly represent small, treatable lung cancers. In order to diagnose these lung lesions, bronchoscopy with small lung biopsies is often the preferred first step. However, this procedure is not always successful as not all biopsies obtain enough abnormal tissue for a pathologist to make a diagnosis. The exact methods and tools used to perform these small lung biopsies may change the success rate of the procedure. In patients who have lung lesions that require bronchoscopy and lung biopsy, we aim to compare the diagnostic yield of two different biopsy tools - forceps transbronchial biopsies (TBLB) and transbronchial cryobiopsies (TBCB). Both tools are currently available but have not been adequately compared. All patients will undergo both biopsy types and the success of providing a diagnosis will be compared.
