Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a biopsy technique called transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) is a safe alternative to the standard biopsy procedure (transbronchial forceps biopsy; TBFB). The study researchers think that TBCB may provide better biopsy samples to help diagnose lung disease.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Transbronchial cryobiopsy
All study participants will undergo transbronchial biopsies via our proposed standardized cryo-biopsy protocol in place of the traditional forceps transbronchial biopsy that is typically used at MSK.
Procedure: Transbronchial cryobiopsy
After enrollment, and pre-treatment procedures are complete, patients will undergo flexible bronchoscopy with a therapeutic bronchoscope under general anesthesia via an advanced airway at Memorial Hospital in an inpatient or outpatient setting.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Post Cryobiopsy complications [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    will be graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (CTCAE v5)

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years of age or greater
  • Patients with known or suspected diagnosis of cancer and indeterminant pulmonary nodules or diffuse parenchymal lung disease with non-diagnostic clinical profiles for whom a lung biopsy is deemed useful for diagnosis.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with pulse oximetry less than 92% on oxygen delivery up to 2 L nasal cannula.

    • Platelet count <50,000 x 10^9/L or
    • prothrombin time international normalized ratio >1.5
  • FVC <50% of the predicted value, DLCO <30% of the predicted value or FEV1 <0.8L
  • Known pulmonary hypertension or echocardiographic pulmonary artery systolic pressure >50mmHg
  • A secure diagnosis based on clinical and high-resolution CT scan data.
  • Antiplatelet therapy that cannot be held for more than 5 days.
  • Any patient deemed unfit to undergo bronchoscopy by the proceduralist
  • Female patients with a positive pregnancy test within 30 days of the planned study procedure
