Prospective Optimization of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration Lymph Node Assessment for Lung Cancer: Three Needle Agitations Are Noninferior to 10 Agitations for Adequate Tumor Cell and DNA Yield

Prospective Optimization of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration Lymph Node Assessment for Lung Cancer: Three Needle Agitations Are Noninferior to 10 Agitations for Adequate Tumor Cell and DNA Yield

Introduction: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS TBNA) is an important means of obtaining a tissue for advanced lung cancer. Optimizing the EBUS TBNA needling technique is important to maintain procedural simplicity and maximize sample quality for emerging molecul...
