Endoscopic ultrasound in the diagnosis of mediastinal diseases
EUS is a useful tool for diagnosis of mediastinal diseases. EUS-FNA plays an important role in staging of lung cancer and in tissue acquisition in patients with mediastinal masses. In this review, the following issues will be addressed: EUS-FNA and EBUS-TBNA, metastatic mediastinal lymph nodes diagnosed by EUS, EUS in assessment of mediastinal lymph node status for staging of lung cancer, media...
متن کاملEndoscopic bronchial ultrasound in mediastinal staging of lung cancer
Malta Medical Journal Volume 28 Issue 03 2016 Abstract Lung cancer is a global healthcare concern with a low 5-year survival rate and a high proportion of advanced-stage cases at diagnosis. In the absence of distant metastasis, the most important prognostic marker is mediastinal lymph node involvement. Timely diagnosis and staging improves prognosis, making rapid, safe, and accurate investigati...
متن کاملPancreatic tuberculosis diagnosed with endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration.
CONTEXT Isolated pancreatic tuberculosis is rare in the Western world. Its clinical presentation often mimics pancreatic malignancy and the diagnosis is usually not suspected or confirmed prior to laparotomy. Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology has proved to be an excellent tool for the cytological diagnosis of pancreatic and peripancreatic masses. However, this techniq...
متن کامل[Usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration in the diagnosis of mediastinal lesions].
OBJECTIVE Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a safe and effective technique for the diagnosis of focal pancreatic lesions and enlarged abdominal lymph nodes. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of EUS-FNA in the diagnosis of mediastinal lesions. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed of all consecutive cases in which EUS-FNA was ...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound reduces surgical mediastinal staging in lung cancer: a randomized trial.
RATIONALE Assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes is recommended in patients with non-small cell lung cancer without distant metastases. Linear transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound with real-time guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a promising, nonsurgical tool for mediastinal staging. OBJECTIVES We conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing surgical staging with EUS-FNA. METHO...
