Exam mapping & scope
This chapter covers delayed ablative modalities used in interventional pulmonology: photodynamic therapy (PDT), cryotherapy (delayed cryoablation and immediate cryoadhesion/cryodebridement), and endobronchial brachytherapy (EBB). Emphasis is on indications, contraindications, technique, troubleshooting, complication management, and evidence that is commonly tested on certification and recertification exams.
