Ultrasound-guided biopsy of chest lymph nodes
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You have a suspicious lymph node in the chest that is at least 1 cm in size
- You are scheduled for a diagnostic bronchoscopy
- You are not on certain blood thinners (like clopidogrel or NOACs) within the last few days
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or very low platelet count
- You do not have a lung cancer diagnosis

This trial is for people who are scheduled for a lung cancer biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) because doctors suspect non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has spread to lymph nodes. It will test leftover fluid from the biopsy to see if it improves cancer detection. If your biopsy is negative but you still need surgery to remove lymph nodes, you can help us learn more about this new test.
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
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 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 study tests a new method that uses a special microscope during a routine lymph node biopsy procedure to see if it can help doctors get more accurate samples. It may improve diagnosis for patients with enlarged lymph nodes in the chest without known lung cancer.
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.
