Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Transbronchial Lung Biopsy With Guide Sheath in Lung Tumors and the Analysis of Echoic Patterns of Lung Tumors and Mediastinal Lymph Nodes
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, April 2007
Sponsored by: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
Information provided by: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00415337
  Purpose
  1. Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is useful in localizing peripheral lung lesions. The EBUS, further combined with the guide sheath (GS) technique, has been reported to increase the yield of transbronchial biopsy. However, there are no reports comparing the GS technique and the traditional EBUS technique in diagnosing the peripheral lung tumor.
  2. Previous reports have revealed that several characteristic echoic patterns correlate well with the histopathological findings of benign and malignant lesions. Therefore, EBUS may also be useful in the differential diagnosis of malignant lesions of the lung.
