About
This trial studies how well endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle-aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) with suction works in obtaining samples from patients with suspected lung cancer that has spread to the nodal. EBUS-TBNA samples obtained with additional suction may help to improve material-amounts and decrease blood contamination in the samples.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate if suction applied with a vacuum syringe during EBUS-TBNA sampling helps to obtain more material for molecular analyses.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo bronchoscopy with EBUS-TBUA first without and then with applied vacuum.
