According to our findings, US-guided lung biopsy is a safe, minimally invasive procedure in patients with suspected lung malignancies, providing an excellent diagnostic yield for both comprehensive molecular profiling and PD-L1 testing. In addition, our results suggest that US-guided biopsy may also be an effective diagnostic approach in patients with suspected lung lymphoma.
