Feasibility of Bronchial Washing Fluid for Molecular Testing With Next Generation Sequencing in Lung Cancer

Each subject suspected or diagnosed of lung cancer will undergo bronchoscopic procedure. First, ultrathin bronchoscope is inserted and placed within tumor under radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy guidance. Then, intratumoral washing is performed. Subsequently, transbronchial lung biopsy is performed under radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy guidance.
