Expert presenters will discuss the most recent diagnostic tests and procedures along with how they can be used to prevent delays in diagnosis and to eliminate more invasive tests and their accompanying complications. The faculty will focus on improving knowledge and skills with endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), guided bronchoscopy with radial probe ultrasound, electromagnetic navigation, and robotic bronchoscopy. In addition, how to use convex probe EBUS for the concurrent diagnosis and staging of suspected lung cancer to reduce high procedure-related complications and a larger number of invasive procedures will be discussed.

Importantly, the organizers provide hands-on sessions during which participants can practice use of EBUS-TBNA, electromagnetic navigation, robotic bronchoscopy, real-time CABT (C-arm based tomography) navigation, and insertion of indwelling pleural catheter, all under the guidance of experts in these fields.
