About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of aspiration samples for mutational analysis in patients with a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Full description

The investigators will compare results of mutational analysis from a core needle biopsy and fine needle aspiration.

Ages: 20+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• primary tumor or a metastatic lung lesion requested for mutational analysis

Exclusion criteria

• a) lesions located adjacent to the large central bronchi or vessels
• b) peribronchovascular lesions with prominent internal CT air-bronchograms, which were considered difficult to be avoided by needle pass
• c) lesions in patient with severe respiratory compromise
