Cryotechnique as a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Tool of Endobronchial Tumors

Novel flexible cryoprobes were introduced for tissue sampling during bronchoscopy. Employing this approach, the sample is collected when frozen, with the tissue attached to the frozen end of the probe. This approach enables the retrieval of larger tissue samples from endobronchial lesionsEndobronchial cryotherapy is employed to treat individuals with obstructive central bronchial lung cancers. It has been demonstrated to effectively recanalize obstructed respiratory passages, alleviate symptoms, and improve the quality of life for patients in advanced stagesThis study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of using bronchoscopic cryotechniques for diagnosing and treating endobronchial malignancies.
