Lung Tumor Biopsy at UCSD

Video of a lung tumor biopsy. Patients that have thickened lung fluid may benefit from this procedure, which is done on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia on the skin, and a pleural biopsy instrument is placed through the skin into the abnormal pleura and a small biopsy of tissue is removed.
