Passing a camera down the windpipe into the lungs to biopsy tumours and lymph nodes without surgery.
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) samples mediastinal nodes through the airway wall and has largely replaced surgical mediastinoscopy for staging lung cancer. Robotic and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy reach small peripheral nodules found on screening CT, and are being coupled with ablation to treat them in the same session. Tissue yield matters because a modern lung cancer diagnosis needs enough for PD-L1 and a genomic panel.
