Safety of Lung Cryobiopsy in People With Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a biopsy technique called transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) is a safe alternative to the standard biopsy procedure (transbronchial forceps biopsy; TBFB). The study researchers think that TBCB may provide better biopsy samples to help diagnose lung disease.

Experimental: Transbronchial cryobiopsy All study participants will undergo transbronchial biopsies via our proposed standardized cryo-biopsy protocol in place of the traditional forceps transbronchial biopsy that is typically used at MSK. |
Procedure: Transbronchial cryobiopsy
After enrollment, and pre-treatment procedures are complete, patients will undergo flexible bronchoscopy with a therapeutic bronchoscope under general anesthesia via an advanced airway at Memorial Hospital in an inpatient or outpatient setting.
