Lymphadenopathy Hilar Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Comparison of Diagnostic Yield and Safety of Mediastinal/Hilar Lymph Node Biopsies by Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Needle Aspiration, Cryobiopsy and Forceps Biopsy: a Multi-centre Randomised Trial
The goal of this prospective, multi-centre, randomised controlled clinical study is to compare the diagnostic efficacy and safety of the three biopsy techniques (EBUS-TBNA, EBUS-TBCB, and EBUS-TBFB) in mediastinal/hilar lymph node biopsies. Participants will divided into EBUS-TBNA group, EBUS-TBCB group, and EBUS-TBFB group at a 1:1:1 ratio by using central, computerized random sequence, and then undertake EBUS-TBNA, EBUS-TBCB, or EBUS-TBFB according to the group. Researchers will compare the adequacy of sampling by the three biopsy techniques, their sample quality, diagnostic rate, and incidence of each adverse events.
