Navigational bronchoscopy showed similar accuracy to needle biopsy for diagnosing lung nodules, with a markedly lower risk of ...

Navigational bronchoscopy was noninferior to CT-guided biopsy when assessing diagnostic accuracy in patients with lung ...

More people are dying from lung cancer than any other type of cancer in the world, and one of the main reasons is lack of early detection. In the U.S. alone, one in every five cancer deaths is related ...

With growing interest in minimally invasive pulmonary diagnostics, this study provides compelling evidence to support broader use of bronchoscopic techniques in routine clinical practice. Reference: ...

A new study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that for patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules ranging in size from 10 to 30 mm, the diagnostic accuracy of transthoracic needle ...

Monarch enables the use of minimally invasive, robotic-assisted technology for peripheral lung procedures. This could improve the ability to access small, hard-to-reach peripheral lung nodules at ...

In this multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, noninferiority trial, we assigned patients with an intermediate-risk or high-risk peripheral pulmonary nodule measuring 10 to 30 mm in diameter to ...

With an outer diameter of just 3.5 mm, the catheter is capable of navigating through narrow, complex airways to reach nodules in even the most remote areas of the lung.
