Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) are highly sensitive for diagnosing and staging lung cancer. In recent years, targeted therapy has shown great significance in the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Using these minimally invasive techniques to obtain specimens for molecular testing will provide patients with a more convenient diagnostic approach.
