Mark Bolton: RCT Navigational Bronchoscopy Biopsy vs IR Biopsy of Peripheral Lung Nodules

Mark Bolton, Radiation Oncologist, shared an article on X:

“RCT Navi bronch biopsy vs IR biopsy of peripheral lung nodules.

Diagnostic accuracy: 79.0% in navi bronch group vs 73.6% in IR bx.

Pneumothorax: 3.3% Navi bronch vs 28.3% IR.

Wow – better accuracy and less complications!”
