Additional diagnostic potential of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in bronchoscopic assessment of sarcoidosis and chronic beryllium disease: a retrospective analysis of 321 patients
The addition of TBLC significantly enhances the diagnostic yield in the workup of sarcoidosis and CBD, particularly in cases without radiologically detected parenchymal involvement. This underscores the added value of TBLC in improving diagnostic accuracy in challenging clinical scenarios.
