This study's purpose is to evaluate whether the use of an ultra-thin bronchoscope can improve sensitivity and diagnostic yield in peripheral pulmonary nodules. The ultra-thin probe is expected to reach further bronchi and allow to reach peripheral lesions. Moreover, the ability to identify molecular pattern of lung cancer is essential nowadays, and it will be therefore evaluated.
