Beyond the Operating Room? Cytology-Based Yield and Resource Utilization of Outpatient Versus Operating Room EBUS-TBNA Pathways

Background/Objectives: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) can be performed via pathways that differ in anesthesia, setting, airway management, monitoring, recovery, and hospitalization. We compared an outpatient endoscopy suite pathway wi...

Discrepancies in the Molecular Epidemiology of Druggable Genetic Alterations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents most lung cancer diagnoses worldwide and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The advent of precision oncology has transformed the therapeutic landscape of NSCLC through the identification of druggable genetic alterati...
