In the researchers' words

This study will randomize participants undergoing a bronchoscopic biopsy of a peripheral pulmonary nodule for their standard of care to receive robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RaB) and then staging linear endobronchial ultrasounnd (EBUS) OR staging linear EBUS first, followed by RaB. The goal of this study is to set the standard for optimizing the sequence of bronchoscopic procedures in patients at risk for early-stage malignancy.
