TLDR
EBUS-TBNA can be used to accurately sample and stage patients with clinical stage 1 lung cancer and no evidence of mediastinal involvement on CT and PET and the negative predictive value was 98.9%.

Management of non-small-cell lung cancer: recent developments.

TL;DR: The evolution of lung cancer staging towards more non-invasive, endoscopy-based, and image-based methods, and the development of stage-adapted treatment is discussed, with an emphasis on targeted therapies based on the assumption that a treatable driver mutation or gene rearrangement is present within the tumour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revised ESTS guidelines for preoperative mediastinal lymph node staging for non-small-cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: A revision of the ESTS guidelines was needed because more evidence of the different mediastinal staging technique has become available and both endoscopic techniques and surgical procedures are available, but their negative predictive value is lower compared with the results obtained in baseline staging.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration for staging of lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: EBUS-TBNA was an accurate, safe and cost-effective tool in lung cancer staging and the selection of patients who had positive results of suspected lymph node metastasis in CT or PET may improve the sensitivity of EBUS- TBNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mediastinoscopy vs Endosonography for Mediastinal Nodal Staging of Lung Cancer: A Randomized Trial

TL;DR: Among patients with (suspected) NSCLC, a staging strategy combining endosonography and surgical staging compared with surgical staging alone resulted in greater sensitivity for mediastinal nodal metastases and fewer unnecessary thoracotomies.

Multidisciplinary management of lung cancer.

TL;DR: This review considers the treatment of each type of lung cancer in the framework of multidisciplinary management and recent clinical trials for the more aggressive small-cell lung cancer.

Noninvasive Staging of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer*: A Review of the Current Evidence

TL;DR: PET scanning is more accurate than CT scanning or EUS for detecting mediastinal metastases and the NPVs of the clinical evaluations for brain, abdominal, and bone metastases are > or = 90%, suggesting that routinely imaging asymptomatic lung cancer patients may not be necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invasive mediastinal staging of lung cancer: ACCP evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (2nd edition).

TL;DR: In patients with extensive mediastinal infiltration, invasive staging is not needed and patients with a peripheral clinical stage I NSCLC do not usually need invasive confirmation of mediastsinal nodes unless a PET scan finding is positive in the nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Test performance of positron emission tomography and computed tomography for mediastinal staging in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A synthesis of 39 studies found that FDG-PET was more accurate than CT for identifying lymph node involvement and CT was more sensitive but less specific in patients with lymph node enlargement on CT.

Noninvasive Staging of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: ACCP Evidenced-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (2nd Edition)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that PET scanning is more accurate than CT scanning for detecting mediastinal lymph node metastasis than chest CT scanning, with a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 51% (95% confidence interval [CI], 47 to 54%) and 85%(95% CI, 84 to 88%), respectively.
