Overview
Transthoracic needle biopsy and bronchoscopy are performed to diagnose tumors which are located in the peripheral and central of the lung.
Lung Cancer Biopsy
- Transthoracic needle biopsy, guided by CT or fluoroscopy, is for tumors located in the periphery of the lungs since peripheral tumors are not accessible through a bronchoscope.
- Diagnostic bronchoscopy is conducted when a pulmonary lesion is located centrally. It directly visualizes the tumor and collects bronchial brushings and washings and transbronchial biopsies.
