Cryobiopsy Vs. Forceps Biopsy for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Transbronchial lung biopsy with radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (Cryobiopsy centered): When the lung nodule is visualized by bronchoscope using RP-EBUS, cryobiopsy is performed, followed by forceps biopsy.

Study summary
This multicenter clinical trial evaluates the diagnostic yields of cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy for peripheral lung nodules. In the cryobiopsy group, cryobiopsy is the primary method, supplemented by forceps biopsy. Conversely, in the forceps biopsy group, forceps biopsy is the primary method, supplemented by cryobiopsy. The study also explores the complementary relationship between the two methods and examines differences in diagnostic rates based on the order in which the procedures are performed.
