LUNG CANCER Real-time endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes
Background: Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is an established method for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes to aid in diagnosing lymphadenopathy and in staging lung cancers. Real-time endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guidance is a new method of TBNA that may increase the ability to sample these nodes and hence to determine a diagnosis. A descriptive study was conducted to test this new met...
متن کاملTransaortic EUS-guided FNA in the diagnosis of lung tumors and lymph nodes.
BACKGROUND Obtaining tissue from a para-aortal lymph node or tumor is a challenge that currently requires invasive surgical procedures. Para-aortic lung tumors can be clearly visualized by EUS. Although the accessibility of lesions adjacent to the esophagus is well documented, the para-aortic region has never been systematically explored. OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility, yield, and safety...
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 کاملMediastinal spread of metastatic lymph nodes in bronchogenic carcinoma. Mediastinal nodal metastases in lung cancer.
The location, frequency, and spread of metastases to the mediastinal lymph nodes were examined in 124 patients with histologically proven N2 disease who underwent pulmonary resection and total lymph node resection. There were one-level metastases in 47 percent of cases, two-level metastases in 29 percent, three-level in 12 percent, and 12 percent had four or more levels of metastases. Nodal met...
متن کاملPathological assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes in lung cancer: implications for non-invasive mediastinal staging.
BACKGROUND The use of computed tomography in mediastinal staging of lung cancer relies on the premiss that malignant lymph nodes are larger than benign ones. This hypothesis was tested by linking node size and presence or absence of malignancy and looking at factors possibly influencing the size of benign nodes. METHODS All accessible mediastinal lymph nodes were taken from 56 consecutive pat...
