This multicenter clinical trial evaluates the diagnostic yields of cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy for peripheral lung nodules. In the cryobiopsy group, cryobiopsy is the primary method, supplemented by forceps biopsy. Conversely, in the forceps biopsy group, forceps biopsy is the primary method, supplemented by cryobiopsy. The study also explores the complementary relationship between the two methods and examines differences in diagnostic rates based on the order in which the procedures are performed.
