Ultrasound-Guided Tissue Core Biopsies in Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes in Patients with Suspected Thoracic Malignancies.
BACKGROUND Supraclavicular (SC) lymph node metastases are important in the analysis of thoracic malignancies for staging as well as for diagnosing purposes. Ultrasound (US) guidance visualises lesions very precisely, enabling tissue biopsies in real-time mode. OBJECTIVES To report on the diagnostic qualities of SC tissue core biopsies (TCB). METHODS A retrospective database analysis was per...
متن کاملLUNG CANCER Ultrasound guided cytological aspiration of supraclavicular lymph nodes in patients with suspected lung cancer
Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in the UK. Pathological diagnosis traditionally requires invasive procedures such as bronchoscopy, mediastinoscopy, or image guided biopsy. Ultrasound of the neck with fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of enlarged but impalpable supraclavicular nodes has been used in patients with suspected lung cancer who have N2 or N3 dise...

متن کاملThe value of ultrasound-guided biopsy of fluorodeoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)-positive supraclavicular lymph nodes in patients with suspected lung cancer
BACKGROUND Accurate lymph node staging is essential for adequate prognostication and therapy planning in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). FDG-PET/CT is a sensitive tool for the detection of metastases, including non-palpable supraclavicular lymph node (SCLN) metastases. Histological proof of metastatic spread and mutation analysis is crucial for optimal staging and therapy. The...
متن کاملUltrasound guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of metastases in nonpalpable supraclavicular lymph nodes in lung cancer patients
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To assess frequency and significance of enlarged nonpalpable supraclavicular lymph nodes with routine ultrasound (US) evaluation and US-guided fineneedle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for the diagnosis and staging of patients with lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS 106 consecutive patients with lung cancer and nonpalpable supraclavicular lymph nodes were evaluated with ce...
