Clinical Trial: Needle-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy for Diagnosis of Lung Cancer in Patients With Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Lung Carcinoma
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: nCLE Guided Randomized Controlled Trial for Lung Cancer Diagnosis
Brief Summary:
This clinical trial compares the addition of needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) and fluorescein to endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS TBNA) with EBUS TBNA alone for the diagnosis of lung cancer in patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules.EBUS TBNA is a diagnostic procedure that can be used to sample lung tissue.nCLE is a novel high-resolution imaging technique that uses a laser light to create real-time microscopic images of tissues.It can be integrated into…
