Clinical trial led by Vanderbilt Health seeks to refine lung cancer biopsy standards

Vanderbilt Health investigators, including Fabien Maldonado, MD, MSc (Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine), have received a grant from AstraZeneca to lead a multisite, randomized controlled trial aimed at refining the standard of care when using robotic bronchoscopy combined with three-dimensional imaging to obtain lung samples for malignancy assessment and gene sequencing.
