More than 60% of patients with lung cancer are diagnosed at advanced stages. The introduction of targeted therapies requires molecular diagnosis to guide treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of performing mutational analysis with brushing specimens obtained by radial‐miniprobe endobronchial ultrasound (R‐EBUS) plus fluoroscopy‐guided bronchoscopy in patients with peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
