Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Miniforceps Biopsy in the Biopsy of Subcarinal Masses in Patients with Low Likelihood of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Miniforceps biopsy, performed under real-time EBUS guidance, can be used to obtain tissue specimens from subcarinal masses adjacent to the airway. The diagnostic yield for lymphoma and sarcoidosis is superior to TBNA alone, and the procedure appears safe.
