Comparison of the numbers of tumor cells between Cryo and TBB. a, The number of tumor cells obtained by a single biopsy. 1321 ± 303.7 (mean ± SEM) for Cryo, 208.8 ± 38.24 for TBB (95% CI: 756.8–1467, P < 0.0001). b, Total number of tumor cells obtained by each biopsy. 1981 ± 411.7 for Cryo, 1044 ± 189.0 for TBB (95% CI: 11.79–1862, P = 0.0474). c, Average number of tumor cells obtained by each biopsy. 1406 ± 310.3 for Cryo, 208.8 ± 37.81 for TBB (95% CI: 558.6–1835, P = 0.0006). Cryo, cryobiopsy; TBB transbronchial biopsy; SEM, standard error of the mean; CI, confidence interval
