Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
* The objective of this research is to determine the accuracy of different types of lung transthoracal needle aspiration (TTNA) i.e. jabbing-then-suction, suction-with-jabbing, and suction-only TTNA in patients with suspected lung cancer. * Researchers will compare these techniques to determine whether there are any quality differences in the obtained tumor samples

- description
- To determine the quality of samples between the jabbing-then-suction technique, the suction-with-jabbing technique, and the suction-only technique of transthoracic needle aspiration procedures in patients with unsuspected lung cancer. The sample quality assessed includes the adequacy of the number of tumor cells for molecular examination and the concordance between cytology sample of each type of TTNA technique.
