2 Fig 1 (A) The diagnostic accuracy of cryotherapy for detecting endobronchial masses was significantly higher than that of forceps biopsy (100% vs 69.3%, p < ). (B) The size of the specimen obtained by cryotherapy was also significantly larger than that obtained by forceps biopsy (13.8 ± 3.8 mm vs 1.9 ± 0.6 mm, p < ).
