Abstract

The last decades have witnessed a huge revolution of interventional pulmonology’s role in diagnostic work-up and management of thoracic diseases. The advent of transbronchial aspiration techniques represents one of the most important advances in this context, as it has extended pulmonologists’ perspective beyond the airways, leading to obtain both diagnosis and staging of cancers during the same procedure, avoiding additional or more invasive interventions [1].
