Cryobiopsy with endobronchial ultrasonography using a guide sheath for peripheral pulmonary lesions and DNA analysis by next generation sequencing and rapid on-site evaluation

ConclusionsCryo with EBUS-GS for PPLs is a safe and potentially useful diagnostic strategy. It has a high diagnostic yield, and provides significantly larger specimens than TBB. It also provides high quantity and quality of DNA for NGS and high concordance rate between ROSE and the final diagnosis.
