OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a step-by-step protocol for GT-guided transthoracic biopsy in verification of peripheral lung tumors. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the results of GT-guided transthoracic biopsies of focal lung neoplasms was performed between October 2019 and December 2020. The analysis included the results of 176 biopsies in 158 patients. RESULTS Primary biopsy was informative in 139 (87.97%) out of 158 patients. There were 155 (88.07%) informative and 21 (11.93%) non-informative biopsies. Lung adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in 41 (25.95%) patients, squamous cell carcinoma in 35 (22.15%) patients, and small cell carcinoma in 9 (5.7%) patients. There were 17 (10.76%) patients with uninformative biopsy results. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 86%, 95.5%, and 87.8%, respectively. PPV was 98.9%, NPV - 58.3%. Various complications occurred after 65 (36.93%) out of 176 biopsies (95% CI 30.15-44.27). Pneumothorax followed by pleural drainage was detected after 8 (4.55%) biopsies. CONCLUSIONS Accuracy of a step-by-step protocol for transthoracic biopsy was 88% that is not inferior to similar results in large-scale studies devoted to specialized navigation systems.
