The lung cancer biopsy specimens obtained by trans lung biopsy occasionally do not contain cancer cells. It is a problem that there is a possibility that they may not contain cancer cells. If the biopsy specimens contained no malignant cells, there was a possibility that accurate genetic test would not be performed and as a result, the correct molecular targeted drug would not be used. It is important to investigate the proportion of biopsy specimens containing cancer cells in total biopsy specimens. In this study, we showed the percentage of specimens containing cancer cells in the total specimens was 79.0%. This result should be considered to perform genetic test from biopsy specimens.
