Computed Tomography-Guided Transthoracic Needle Biopsy: Predictors for Diagnostic Failure and Tissue Adequacy for Molecular Testing

Computed Tomography-Guided Transthoracic Needle Biopsy: Predictors for Diagnostic Failure and Tissue Adequacy for Molecular Testing

Background: Adequate and representative tissue from lung tumor is important in the era of precision medicine. The aim of this study is to identify detailed procedure-related variables and factors influencing diagnostic success and tissue adequacy for molecular testing in CT-guided TTNB.Methods: Cons...
