This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study to assess evaluate the relevance of intratumoral washing by ultrathin bronchoscopy (outer diameter; 3mm) for detection of genetic alterations using Next Generation Sequencing in patients suspicious of early-stage lung cancer.

Not accepted
You may be eligible if
* Age ≥ 20 years
* Obtained written informed consent
* Subjects suspected of having resectable lung cancer on computed tomography
* Subjects without contraindication to brochoscopy
* Subjects planning to undergo surgery for suspected lung cancer and opting for tissue or liquid biopsy for genetic alteration using Next Generation Sequencing
You may not be if
* Subjects who withdraw informed consent
* Subjects who are unable to undergo liquid biopsy (plasma) and tissue biopsy - for genetic alteration with Next Generation Sequencing based on the investigator's judgement
* Subjects diagnosed with a cancer other than non-small cell lung cancer from the lung tissue lesion
* Subjects diagnosed with a benign lesion from the lung tissue lesion
