A Pilot Study Evaluating the Performance of 19-gauge Needles in Testing Molecular Markers in Samples Obtained Via Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Needle Aspiration of Lymph Nodes in Patients With Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study is to test whether the 19-gauge needle can collect more tissue and
get better sampling during a bronchoscopy procedure.
get better sampling during a bronchoscopy procedure.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with known or suspected lung cancer with mediastinal adenopathy as defined by
a mediastinal lymph node >0.5 cm in short axis on EBUS or any lymph node with uptake
on FDG-PET scan that is higher than background PET activity.
- Participants must lack bleeding disorders
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects who lack fitness for flexible bronchoscopy as determined by the physician
performing the bronchoscopy before the procedure
- Subjects with suspected sarcoidosis, lymphoma, or metastatic cancer from other sites
(i.e. those without a known or suspected lung primary)
- Subjects on anticoagulation (other than Aspirin) whom cannot have their
anticoagulation held for the procedure due to other clinical reasons (i.e. recent
cardiac stent placement).
