Targeting the Periphery of the Lung: The Final Frontier

Session Format

Pre-Recorded

Session Type

Clinical Controversy

Topic Area

Interventional

Description

New technologies and approaches to peripheral lung nodule diagnostics are being introduced at an increasing rate. In order to assist attendees' understanding of the true definition of diagnostic yield and its importance in lung nodule biopsy in the periphery of the lung, this session will provide an evidence-based review and assessment of the current literature and controversies surronding diagnostic yield in bronchoscopy. Case-based examples highlighting specific advances in peripheral bronchoscopy will be disussed. Active audience participation will be encouraged- with ample question- and answer-focused material.

Learning Objective 1

Define diagnostic yield with minimally invasive techniques in the periphery of the lung.

Learning Objective 2

Differentiate the role of advanced bronchoscopic platforms to optimize diagnostic yield.
