Abstract:

The benign and malignant diagnosis of pulmonary nodules is based on pathological biopsy. There are endless clinical studies on the biopsy methods of pulmonary nodules. The authors reviewed the methods of pulmonary nodule biopsy developed in recent years, including percutaneous pulmonary biopsy guided by CT and ultrasound, virtual navigation combined with radial probe bronchoscopy ultrasound biopsy, rapid on-site evaluation, transbronchial cryobiopsy and video assisted thoracoscopic surgery, in order to find a suitable method for lung nodule biopsy.
