Annette McWilliams,Martin C. Tammemägi,John R. Mayo,Heidi C. Roberts,Geoffrey Liu,Kam Soghrati,Kazuhiro Yasufuku,Simon Martel,Francis Laberge,Michel Gingras,S. Atkar-Khattra,Christine D. Berg,Kenneth R. Evans,Richard J. Finley,John Yee,John C. English,Paola Nasute,John R. Goffin,Serge Puksa,Lori Stewart,Scott Tsai,Michael R. Johnston,Daria Manos,Garth Nicholas,Glenwood D. Goss,Jean M. Seely,Kayvan Amjadi,Alain Tremblay,Paul Burrowes,Paul MacEachern,Rick Bhatia,Ming-Sound Tsao,Stephen Lam +32 more
TL;DR: Predictive tools based on patient and nodule characteristics can be used to accurately estimate the probability that lung nodules detected on baseline screening low-dose CT scans are malignant, according to a population-based prospective study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normothermic Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion in Clinical Lung Transplantation
Marcelo Cypel,Jonathan C. Yeung,Mingyao Liu,Masaki Anraku,Fengshi Chen,W. Karolak,Masaaki Sato,Jane Laratta,Sassan Azad,Mindy Madonik,Chung-Wai Chow,Cecilia Chaparro,Michael Hutcheon,Lianne G. Singer,Arthur S. Slutsky,Kazuhiro Yasufuku,Marc de Perrot,Andrew Pierre,Thomas K. Waddell,Shaf Keshavjee +19 more
TL;DR: Transplantation of high-risk donor lungs that were physiologically stable during 4 hours of ex vivo perfusion led to results similar to those obtained with conventionally selected lungs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration of Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes
Kazuhiro Yasufuku,Masako Chiyo,Yasuo Sekine,Prashant N. Chhajed,Kiyoshi Shibuya,Toshihiko Iizasa,Takehiko Fujisawa +6 more
TL;DR: Real-time CP-EBUS-guided TBNA of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes is a novel approach that is safe and has a good diagnostic yield and this new ultrasound puncture bronchoscope has an excellent potential for assisting in safe and accurate diagnostic interventional bronchoscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective controlled trial of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration compared with mediastinoscopy for mediastinal lymph node staging of lung cancer
Kazuhiro Yasufuku,Andrew Pierre,Gail Darling,Marc de Perrot,Thomas G. Waddell,Michael R. Johnston,Gilda da Cunha Santos,William B. Geddie,Scott A. Boerner,Lisa W. Le,Shaf Keshavjee +10 more
TL;DR: EBUS-TBNA can replace mediastinoscopy in patients with potentially resectable non-small cell lung cancer and achieve similar results for the mediastinal staging of lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of endobronchial ultrasound, positron emission tomography, and CT for lymph node staging of lung cancer.
Kazuhiro Yasufuku,Takahiro Nakajima,Ken Motoori,Yasuo Sekine,Kiyoshi Shibuya,Kenzo Hiroshima,Takehiko Fujisawa +6 more
TL;DR: Compared to CT and PET, EBUS-TBNA has a high sensitivity as well as specificity for mediastinal and hilar lymph node staging in patients with lung cancer.
