About this trial
* 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
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with suspected lung cancer who will undergo diagnostic testing using ultrasound-guided TTNA of the lung with cell block and core biopsy.
Patients aged 18-75 years.
The tumor is located peripherally, attached to the chest wall.
Disqualifiers
Patient refuses lung biopsy
Non-cooperative patient
Patient with respiratory failure, on positive pressure ventilation
Severe pulmonary emphysema

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Quality of samples from different types of transthoracal needle aspiration (TTNA) technique
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.
