Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Participants who are scheduled to have an endo bronchial ultrasound (EBUS) trans bronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) will provide additional samples. These samples will then be sent to Imperial College London to see whether a cell line can be grown. If growth is successful then the samples will be returned to our pathology department to see if grading is possible and then to compare these results with the previous diagnostic samples. The cell line samples will not be used for patient diagnosis.
