Bronchial Anthracofibrosis and Macroscopic Tissue Pigmentation on EBUS-TBNA Predict a Low Probability of Metastatic Lymphadenopathy in Korean Lung Cancer Patients
The identification of mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs) in lung cancer is an important step of treatment decision and prognosis prediction. The endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is widely used to assess the mediastinal LNs and tissue confirmation in lung cancer. As use of bronchoscopy or EBUS-TBNA has been increased, bronchial anthracofibrosis (BAF) has be...
متن کاملImpact of EBUS-TBNA on modalities for tissue acquisition in patients with lung cancer.
BACKGROUND The impact of the introduction of Endobronchial ultrasound with real-time guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) on the use of diagnostic modalities for tissue acquisition in patients with lung cancer is unknown. METHODS A retrospective review of 328 consecutive patients diagnosed with lung cancer at a university teaching hospital, where they first presented in London ...
متن کاملEBUS-TBNA-related complications in a patient with tuberculous lymphadenopathy.
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is becoming more common for diagnosing intrathoracic lymphadenopathy, including tuberculous lymphadenopathy. We herein report two cases of complications possibly related to EBUS-TBNA for tuberculous lymphadenopathy. The first patient was a 26-year-old woman who developed intrabronchial polypoid granulomas exclusively a...
متن کاملIsolated mediastinal lymphadenopathy - performance of EBUS-TBNA in clinical practice.
Background Isolated mediastinal lymphadenopathy is an increasingly common finding as a result of the increasing use of cross-sectional thoracic imaging. We investigated the performance of endobronchial ultrasoundguided transbronchial needle-aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in establishing a pathological diagnosis in patients with isolated mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Methods We retrospectively analysed a...
متن کاملRole of the Endobronchial Landmarks Guiding TBNA and EBUS-TBNA in Lung Cancer Staging
Background. Lung cancer is the leading cause of malignancy related mortality in the United States. Accurate staging of NSCLC influences therapeutic decisions. Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) and endobronchial ultrasound-guided TBNA (EBUS-TBNA) has been accepted as a procedure for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and adequacy of ...
