The conventional biopsy method for lung ground-glass opacity (GGO) diagnosis is to use disposable guided sheath (including biopsy forceps and cell brushes) which have some limitations, such as big physical damage, small biopsy tissue, etc. Cryobiospy is a new technique for biopsy developed in recent years which has many advantages over conventional biopsy, such as larger tissue, higher diagnosis yield, less complication, etc. The investigators will explore the efficacy and safety of cryobiospy vs. biopsy forceps in GGO diagnosis. The study is designed as a prospective, randomized controlled trial, 184 patients will be expected to enroll in the study and receive EBUS examination before biopsy to check whether the GGO lesions exist or not. This is a parallel-control study that patients with GGO lesions will be randomized to either TBCB group or TBFB group for biopsy. The primary aim is to compare the diagnostic yields of the two biopsy techniques. The secondary endpoint is to assess the tissue size, sampling time, number of sampling and the quality of specimen.
The aim of this study is to investigate the difference of efficacy and safety between transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) and transbronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB) in the diagnosis of lung ground-glass opacity.
