Radial EndoBronchial UltraSound (R‐EBUS)‐guided biopsies are a promising biopsy technique for pulmonary nodules suspected of lung cancer with great safety profile. Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) testing is increasingly demanded from lung biopsies. GenCut is a novel blunt tool that can be use...
