Endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) is preferred for evaluating malignant lymph nodes and staging of lung cancer. Nevertheless, larger tissue samples are increasingly needed, particularly for molecular analysis. We describe the feasibility, technical details,...
