Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes
The article by Wang Memoli et al 1 in an issue of CHEST (December 2011) on the use of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to predict lymph node metastasis due to lung cancer was well presented and helpful for the interpretation and diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma. The authors discussed the widely accepted criteria suggestive of metastatic malignancy, including a positive PET scan and a short-axis...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound Elastography for Diagnosing Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes
BACKGROUND Pathophysiological processes, such as malignancy, can lead to the formation of stiffer tissue in lung cancers. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography is a novel technique for measuring tissue stiffness during EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). The current study was conducted to investigate the diagnostic value of EBUS elastography for mediastinal and hila...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound and positron emission tomography positive mediastinal lymph nodes.
Positron emission tomography with 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG-PET) is more accurate than computed tomography for staging of mediastinal (hilar) lymph nodes. In the case of positive findings, tissue sampling of lymph nodes is required. The diagnostic/staging yield of transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) following endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) localisation was assessed in this particul...
متن کاملEvaluation of a novel endobronchial ultrasound-guided lymph node forceps in enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.
BACKGROUND Endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial nee dle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a useful technique for cytological assessment of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes with a high diagnostic yield for lung cancer. However, the small sample volume can be problematic in diagnosing benign diseases and for molecular analysis of malignant tumours. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate a n...
متن کاملThe role of endobronchial ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has been widely used for diagnosis and mediastinal lymph nodes staging in patients with suspicious lung cancer. Ultrasound elastography is a novel sonographical technique that can evaluate tissue compressibility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic yield of elastography for differentiating ma...
