This trial is testing a new type of biopsy procedure called EBUS cryobiopsy, which uses ultrasound guidance and a special freezing tool to collect tiny tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in your chest. The procedure is minimally invasive (done through the airway) and is designed to help doctors diagnose serious conditions like sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lymphoma, and lung cancer more accurately. Researchers want to understand how many samples are needed and whether this technique works better than the current standard approach.
The current standard biopsy method works very well for lung cancer but doesn't work as reliably for other serious diseases that affect the lymph nodes in your chest. This new technique may provide better tissue samples that help doctors diagnose these other conditions more accurately.

You will undergo an endobronchial ultrasound biopsy procedure, where a thin tube with a camera and ultrasound probe is gently passed down your airway to reach the swollen lymph nodes. The doctor will use the new cryobiopsy technique (a freezing tool) to collect several small tissue samples from the affected area. All participants receive the same procedure, and the study compares different sample collection approaches to determine how many biopsies are needed for accurate diagnosis.
