* The objective of this research is to determine the accuracy of different types of lung transthoracal needle aspiration (TTNA) i.e. jabbing-then-suction, suction-with-jabbing, and suction-only TTNA in patients with suspected lung cancer. * Researchers will compare these techniques to determine whether there are any quality differences in the obtained tumor samples
During hospitalization for diagnostic testing, suspected lung cancer patients will undergo a transthoracic biopsy using three TTNA techniques, and core needle biopsy as the gold standard. The biopsy is performed in the operating room under local anesthesia and under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. The biopsy techniques used are routine procedures and therefore not as a new method. After the biopsy is completed, the patient is observed for at least 24 hours to observe potential complications.

RECRUITINGQuality of samples from different types of transthoracal needle aspiration (TTNA) technique
To determine the quality of samples between the jabbing-then-suction technique, the suction-with-jabbing technique, and the suction-only technique of transthoracic needle aspiration procedures in patients with unsuspected lung cancer. The sample quality assessed includes the adequacy of the number of tumor cells for molecular examination and the concordance between cytology sample of each type of TTNA technique.
Time frame: Immediate after biopsy procedure
