Abstract
Although transthoracic needle biopsy is frequently considered for evaluation of a solitary pulmonary nodule, the risks of this procedure are not well-defined. In this assessment of national adminis... Background: Because pulmonary nodules are found in up to 25% of patients undergoing computed tomography of the chest, the question of whether to perform biopsy is becoming increasingly common.
