Endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration for restaging the mediastinum in lung cancer.
PURPOSE To investigate the sensitivity and accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for restaging the mediastinum after induction chemotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-four consecutive patients with tissue-proven stage IIIA-N2 disease who were treated with induction chemotherapy...
متن کاملVirtual endobronchial ultrasound for transbronchial needle aspiration.
OBJECTIVE Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration could be performed better with computer-based preparation. METHODS Three-dimensional virtual bronchoscopy was used to develop 2 modes of computer-based "virtual endobronchial ultrasound." "Virtual endobronchial ultrasound standard" used conventional virtual bronchoscopy to determine the spot and angle for transbronchia...
متن کامل[Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration].
In the last years, several techniques have been developed to obtain a prompt diagnosis or rule out lung cancer. Endobronchial ultrasound- guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure with a high diagnostic yield for mediastinal and central pulmonary lesions. This procedure is especially useful for lung cancer diagnosis and mediastinal staging. Two differ...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration
In a recent issue of CHEST (January 2011), Gounant et al 1 showed that dedicated linear echoendoscope endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) needles are able to release metal particles, probably by friction between the stylet and the needle, with a potential risk of injecting particles into nodes. After reading this article, we are a bit confused for severa...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration in the evaluation of the mediastinum lymph nodes: safety evaluation
Background Evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes is of paramount importance for accurate staging in lung cancer and often dictates optimal treatment. Mediastinoscopy is considered the “gold standard” for sampling lymph nodes, but it is an invasive, costly technique that requires general anesthesia. Newer staging techniques have emerged. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspi...
