Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Standard forceps biopsy then research cryoprobe biopsyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects scheduled for a biopsy of lung lesions using robotic bronchoscopy as part of their standard of care will have the lung lesion biopsied using forceps first followed by cryoprobe.
Group II: Research cryoprobe biopsy then standard forceps biopsyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects scheduled for a biopsy of lung lesions using robotic bronchoscopy as part of their standard of care will have the lung lesion biopsied using the cryoprobe first followed by forceps.
