This study tests a new way to take a tissue sample from swollen lymph nodes in the chest using a special microscope and a freezing biopsy tool. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective for diagnosing the cause of the enlarged nodes.
This trial tests a new type of biopsy that uses a camera and freezing probe to take a larger sample from swollen lymph nodes in the chest, which may help doctors diagnose tuberculosis more accurately.
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 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.
This trial uses a special ultrasound-guided procedure to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest. It aims to improve diagnosis for people who already need a bronchoscopy.
