| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Rapid on-site evaluation | Rapid on-site evaluation consists on the cytological evaluation of samples obtained during a diagnostic procedure by a pathologist present in the diagnostic suite. In the present study, cytological samples obtained with EBUS-TBNA during bronchoscopy will be evaluated. |
| DEVICE | EBUS-TBNA | EBUS-TBNA is a needle aspiration procedure guided by endobronchial ultrasounds performed during bronchoscopy |
