OBJECTIVES: Although flexible bronchoscopy with the assistance of miniature radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is increasingly employed to diagnose peripheral lung cancer, transbronchial biopsies typically offer an insufficient amount of tissue to conduct additional molecular analysis. We evaluated the feasibility of multi-gene analyses from waste brushing samples obtained by EBUS-assisted bronchoscopy....
