Cryobiopsy is an innovative technique used in the diagnosis of various lung diseases, including neoplasms. Unlike conventional bronchoscopic methods, it yields larger and higher-quality tissue samples for histopathological analysis. Compared to surgical lung biopsy, it may offer a safer and more suitable alternative for high-risk patients. The diagnostic yield of the procedure is high, while the incidence of severe or life-threatening complications remains low.
