Lung lymph node biopsy study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest using a thin tube passed through the mouth. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective.

This trial tests a new way to take tissue samples (biopsies) from enlarged lymph nodes in the chest using a special microscope during a bronchoscopy. The goal is to make the diagnosis more accurate and safer.
This trial is studying a procedure called cryobiopsy, which uses extreme cold to take tissue samples from the lungs. It aims to see how safe and effective it is for diagnosing conditions like interstitial lung disease or lung cancer, especially when other tests haven't worked.
This trial compares two ways to take a sample from swollen lymph nodes in the chest to see if they are caused by tuberculosis. One method uses a needle and the other uses a special probe to freeze a piece of tissue, which may give a more accurate answer. If you have these swollen nodes and TB is suspected, the trial could help diagnose you more precisely.
This study tests a new way to take a small sample of tissue from a lung spot using a special camera and freezing technique. It aims to make the diagnosis process safer and more effective.
This study checks whether it’s practical to do gene (DNA) testing on samples taken during EBUS-TBNA, a common breathing-tube biopsy used to stage lung cancer. If it works well, it could make genetic testing faster and easier for people with lung cancer.
This study looks at immune cells in the lungs, lymph nodes, and blood to learn more about suspected sarcoidosis. You may benefit by helping researchers better understand the condition and by getting close medical evaluation as part of the study.
