Brief Title: Cryobiopsy Versus Forceps Biopsy for Pulmonary Lesions
Official Title: An Un-blinded, Intra-patient Comparison of Transbronchial Forceps Biopsy and Cryobiopsy for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions
Study ID: NCT02983903
Brief Summary: Purpose: Patients with peripheral lung nodules require evaluation for lung cancer. Our aim is to assess the diagnostic yield of a new technique, transbronchial cryobiopsies, in patients at risk for lung cancer. Target population: Patients referred for bronchoscopy and lung biopsies as a part of their work up for peripheral lung lesions. Procedures: Patients enrolled will have forceps transbronchial biopsies followed by transbronchial cryobiopsies for their lung lesion during bronchoscopy.
