Conditions
Summary
* The objective of this research is to determine the accuracy of different types of lung transthoracal needle aspiration (TTNA) i.e. jabbing-then-suction, suction-with-jabbing, and suction-only TTNA in patients with suspected lung cancer. * Researchers will compare these techniques to determine whether there are any quality differences in the obtained tumor samples
