Özet

Introduction: Bronchoscopic biopsies and bronchial washings (BW) are commonly used together for the diagnosis of centrally located tumors. This study aimed to investigate the clinical relevance of routinely collecting BWs in patients who simultaneously had biopsies for visible endobronchial lesions in the current molecular analysis-driven personalized medicine era.
