Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows for the identification of a growing number of therapeutic and prognostic molecular targets. However, NGS typically requires greater quantities of DNA than traditional molecular testing does. Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to sample central thoracic lesions, but it is not well...
