Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Treatment optimization of non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancers (nonSq-NSCLC) relies on the molecular analysis of the tumour. We aimed to assess the predictive factors of molecular analysis feasibility (MAF) from samples of peripheral nonSq-NSCLC obtained by radial endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (r-EBUS) and 1.5 mm microbiopsy forceps. METHODS: We reviewed data from consecutive...
