Weighing the evidence for pharmacological treatment interventions in mild COPD; a narrative perspective.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Generally, structural destruction of lung parenchyma, such as pulmonary emphysema, is considered to be related to the low diagnostic yields and high complication rates of lung biopsies of peripheral lung lesions. Currently, little is known about the clinical outcomes of using endobronchial ultrasound with a ...
