The value of parasternal mediastinoscopy in staging bronchial carcinoma.
Computed tomography (CT) is the non-invasive staging procedure of choice for assessment of metastasis to mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with bronchial carcinoma. Cervical mediastinoscopy can provide histologic evidence of mediastinal spread to the peritracheal, tracheobronchial and subcarinal lymph nodes. Sub-aortic and para-aortic nodes cannot be sampled via this route. The present study ...
متن کاملThe possible value of mediastinoscopy in staging Hodgkin's disease.
The first mediastinotomies were performed at the end of the 19th century as therapeutic attempts to treat mediastinitis, which at that time was a frequent and uniformly fatal complication of deep-seated neck infections. According to Palva (13), Heidenbain reported the first successful collar mediastinoscopy in 1899. During World War I, Marschik of the Viennese School introduced the concept of p...
متن کاملMediastinoscopy and bronchial carcinoma: experience with 600 mediastinoscopies.
Of 600 mediastinoscopies carried out from 1966 to 1973, 479 were performed to assess the operability of a pulmonary carcinoma. Of these, 206 (43%) were positive and 273 (57%) were negative. Of the 161 patients found positive during an initial period, 147 were refused operation; the remaining 14 were considered suitable candidates for operation, either because only one homolateral lymph node sit...
متن کاملRepeat mediastinoscopy in the staging of lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE Despite technical difficulties due to mediastinal fibrosis, repeat mediastinoscopy can be a valuable tool in the restaging of lung cancer. It provides essential pathological information on mediastinal invasion when selecting patients for surgical resection after induction chemotherapy in stage IIIa disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility, sensitivity and accuracy...
متن کاملStaging of the mediastinum. Role of mediastinoscopy and computed tomography.
During the 1940s and 1950s, as many as 50% of thoracotomies identified nonresectable tumors. At present, better than 90% of patients undergoing thoracotomy for presumably resectable lung cancer are found to have operable tumors. This improvement is the result of major advances in the preoperative staging of this disease. Mediastinoscopy and computed tomography (CT) are the most valuable techniq...
