Hi guys sorry to interfere in your posts but my wife has a diagnosis of lung cancer in right lung with a 7.8 cm tumor also spread to lymph nodes and thyroid gland.  So far she has had a bronchoscopy and an ultra sound guided aspiration needle on a node both of which failed to obtain a biopsy.  She now has an appointment with an oncologist on the 19th February previously was seen by a thoracic consultant. My question is what is an Ebos it sounds like a different way of getting a biopsy. I am just trying to gain some insight into what other possible options there are. Hope you all all get the results you want and a favourable outcome

Here is an explanation Willowmina.

Hi summersdad, Ebus is short for Endobronchial ultrasound scan and biopsy. I will attach an information sheet below for you about the procedure. If you click on the link it will take you to the page.
