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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

1

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.
