Mediastinoscopy vs endosonography for mediastinal nodal staging of lung cancer: a randomized trial.
CONTEXT Mediastinal nodal staging is recommended for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Surgical staging has limitations, which results in the performance of unnecessary thoracotomies. Current guidelines acknowledge minimally invasive endosonography followed by surgical staging (if no nodal metastases are found by endosonography) as an alternative to immediate surgical...
متن کاملMediastinal staging in daily practice: endosonography, followed by cervical mediastinoscopy. Do we really need both?
OBJECTIVES In patients with lung cancer, endosonography has emerged as a minimally invasive method to obtain cytological proof of mediastinal lymph nodes, suspicious for metastases on imaging. In case of a negative result, it is currently recommended that a cervical mediastinoscopy be performed additionally. However, in daily practice, a second procedure is often regarded superfluous. The goal ...
متن کاملMediastinal staging of non-small-cell lung cancer: computed tomography and cervical mediastinoscopy.
The exact indications for computed tomography (CT) of the thorax and mediastinoscopy (MS) in lung cancer still remain incompletely defined. The present study was designed to establish a standard approach to cervical MS for otolaryngologists, who in Denmark are traditionally involved in the staging of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sixty-four potentially operable patients with NSCLC underwe...

متن کاملMinimally Invasive Methods for Staging in Lung Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Introduction. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a procedure that provides access to the mediastinal staging; however, EBUS cannot be used to stage all of the nodes in the mediastinum. In these cases, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is used for complete staging. Objective. To provide a synthesis of the evidence on the diagnostic performance of EBUS + EUS in patients undergoing mediastinal staging. ...
