What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensitivity and Specificity of lung cancer diagnosis

    We aim to evaluate if splitting the obtained specimen will have an impact on lung cancer diagnosis performed by histopathologic analysis

    Measured: 6 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of successful performed molecular RNA based analysis

    We will analyse the second half of the sample regarding molecular analysis. RNA concentration and RNA integrity score will be assessed before a new RNA based test will be evaluated.

    Measured: 3 month
