Pre- and intra-operative mediastinal staging in non-small-cell lung cancer.
Primary mediastinal lymph node staging is important to select properly patients who can benefit from an induction treatment. The accuracy of CT scan in the evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes is low. Further staging can be omitted in patients with negative mediastinal PET in most of the cases. PET positive findings should always be histologically or cytologically confirmed. Endoscopic techniq...

متن کاملStaging non-small cell lung cancer*
Patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) need accurate tumor staging in order to direct appropriate therapy and establish prognosis; the tumor is usually staged using the TNM system. The major imaging modalities currently used for staging this disease are thoracic computed tomography (CT) (including the adrenal glands) and whole body fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emi...
متن کاملStaging of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Staging of lung cancer serves 2 purposes; it attempts to classify patients into groups where particular treatments are appropriate and defines those groups based on expected prognosis. The eighth edition of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer staging system deals with the issues raised by screening with fine cut computed tomography. Each phase of staging is a legitimate d...
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...
