24 07/30/55 24 Initial Diagnosis of Lung Cancer In patients suspected of having SCLC based on radiographic and clinical finding, it is recommended that the diagnosis be confirmed by the easiest method (sputum cytology, thoracentesis, fine-needle aspirate,bronchoscopy including (TBNA),(EBUS - NA), ( EUS-NA ).Grade of recommendation, 1C

34 07/30/55 34 Endobronchial Ultrasonography with a Guide Sheath (EBUS-GS) EBUS-GS is another new technique for obtaining specimens in suspected peripheral lung cancer.
35 07/30/55 35 Endobronchial Ultrasonography with a Guide Sheath (EBUS-GS) US Probe
36 07/30/55 36 The Advantages Locate peripheral pulmonary lesions. Increase the reliability of collection from lesions. Reduce procedure time by enabling physicians to return to the same lesion or site easily for multiple biopsies. Reduce damage to the bronchial wall with forceps passed through the sheath. Reduce radiation exposure since continued fluoroscopy is not necessary once the Guide Sheath position has been fixed. Improve the diagnostic rate for small lesions. Diagnose early lung cancer invasion.
