Cryobiopsy Vs. Forceps Biopsy for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

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.

This is a multi center, clinical trial evaluating the diagnostic yields of cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy methods used for the biopsy of peripheral lung nodules. In the cryobiopsy group, cryobiopsy is the primary method, with forceps biopsy used as an auxiliary technique, while in the forceps biopsy group, forceps biopsy is the primary method, with cryobiopsy as the auxiliary technique. The study also investigates the complementary relationship between these biopsy methods and evaluates differences in diagnostic rates based on the sequence of the procedures.
