Malignant cases diagnosed by linear EBUS: number of cases, number and % of cases where diagnosis was possible from smear, number and % of cases where cell block as sent and number and % of cases where diagnosis was possible from cell block, if cell block was made. NSCLC, non-small cell lung carcinoma; EBUS, endobronchial ultrasound.
