NCT00548730 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2023-12-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the three methods of bronchoscopic imaging to determine what combination is optimum to identify neoplastic mucosal abnormalities. The ability to decrease the rate of false-positive and false negative findings of bronchoscopy also will be studied for each spectroscopic technique separately and for their combination.
