From Benchmark to Surgical Activity: the Role of Endobronchial Fiducial Markers for Ground Glass Lung Nodules Resection.

With the risen popularity of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening, many patients present with peripheral pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) with a suspicious solid part. The appropriate diagnostic and management strategy for those lesions can be questionable. If malignancy is suspected, a surgical biopsy with the guidance of various localization methods available is recommended. Each localization method has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it may not be possible to establish a gold standard for localizing indeterminate lung nodules since comparative clinical trials are lacking.
