Özet

Background: Although the utility of blind biopsy in the detection of metastasis in the carina has been reported, submucosal fine needle aspiration (SMFNA) has not been evaluated. We investigated how SMFNA of the main carina and upper-lobe carina in addition to blind biopsy affect management of patients with NSCLC.
