Safety and efficacy of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy
EBUS-TBNA combined with EBUS-TBCB or EBUS-TBFB is a safe, minimally invasive technique that achieves a high diagnostic yield for intrathoracic lymph node lesions. By obtaining sufficient and structurally intact tissue specimens, this approach facilitates molecular pathology testing, supports the diagnosis of benign conditions, and enables accurate pathological classification of malignant diseases.
