Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this monocentric randomized controlled trial, 120 potential non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients for which tissue diagnosis and material for next generation sequencing (NGS) is required for clinical management will be approached the day of their endobronchial ultrasound to participate in the study. They will be randomized to 2 vs 3 passes/lymph node and will all undergo liquid biopsy. The co-primary outcomes are 1)the rate of obtention of adequate material for NGS testing with 2 vs 3 passes/lymph node and 2)the percentage of patients for which liquid biopsy allows to identify clinically pertinent findings not available from tissue biopsy
