Contribution of cell blocks obtained through endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration for the determination of lung cancer subtypes

Introduction It is crucial to diagnose the subtype of lung cancer quickly and accurately for effective therapy. Conventional cytology staining sometimes provides limited information, and additional tissue is often required to diagnose lung cancer. Cell blocks (CB) recovered during endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) increases the diagnostic accuracy of the procedure and the likelihood of additional...
