متن کاملEndobronchial 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 versus conventional transbronchial needle aspiration in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy: a meta-analysis
Currently, whether endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is superior to conventional TBNA (cTBNA) in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy remains controversial. We undertook a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA versus cTBNA in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy, both in benig...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in diagnosing mediastinal lymphadenopathy
CONTEXT The diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy is always a challenge. There always a need of a technique that is highly accurate as well as safe for diagnosis the same. AIMS The aim of the study is to assess the clinical usefulness and safety profile of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in diagnosing the patients with mediastinal lymphadenopath...
