Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Early diagnosis is crucial to increased survival rates. Radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) have been developed for the diagnosis of small lung lesions. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate whether the combination of rEBUS and ENB is superior to ENB alone.
