Plain-English summary
Four dogs with lung tumors underwent a special procedure called thoracoscopic biopsy, which involved using a tool known as a Roeder's loop to collect tissue samples from their lungs. This method allowed the veterinarians to gather larger samples of the tumor tissue for further examination. The procedure was successful in all cases, helping to provide important information about the tumors. If your dog is showing signs of breathing problems or other symptoms related to lung issues, this type of biopsy could be a valuable diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Thoracoscopic biopsies were taken from four dogs with lung tumours using a Roeder's loop. A Roeder's loop is used to collect pulmonary tissue samples for histopathological analyses. In all the animals tissue biopsy using a Roeder's loop enabled to collect a relatively large specimen of the lung tumor tissue.
