TLDR
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.About:

Methods for Staging Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines
Gerard A. Silvestri,Anne V. Gonzalez,Michael A. Jantz,Mitchell L. Margolis,Michael K. Gould,Lynn T. Tanoue,Loren J. Harris,Frank C. Detterbeck +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PET scanning is more accurate than CT scanning, but tissue biopsy is still required to confirm PET scan findings, and evidence suggests that more complete staging improves patient outcomes.

Invasive mediastinal staging of lung cancer: ACCP evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (2nd edition).
Frank C. Detterbeck,Michael A. Jantz,Michael B. Wallace,Johan Vansteenkiste,Gerard A. Silvestri +4 more
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.

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
Real-time endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used real-time endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guidance to increase the ability to sample mediastinal lymph nodes and hence to determine a diagnosis.

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
Regional Lymph Node Classification for Lung Cancer Staging
TL;DR: Recommendations for classifying regional lymph node stations for lung cancer staging have been adopted by the American Joint Committee on Cancer and the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer, and provides for consistent, reproducible, lymph node mapping that is compatible with the international staging system for Lung cancer.

TL;DR: The European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society (ERS/ATS) Task Force position paper as discussed by the authors defined the field of interventional pulmonology as well as to describe the minimal requirements in methodology and logistics, the indications, contraindications, outcome and training requirements for each interventional procedure.

Detection of dysplasia and carcinoma in situ with a lung imaging fluorescence endoscope device
Stephen Lam,Calum MacAulay,Jaclyn Y. Hung,Jean C. LeRiche,Amedeus Edward Profio,Branko Palcic +5 more
TL;DR: Fluorescence imaging may become an important adjunct to conventional bronchoscopic examination to improve the ability to diagnose and stage lung cancer more accurately.

The current role of mediastinoscopy in the evaluation of thoracic disease
Zane T. Hammoud,Richard C. E. Anderson,Bryan F. Meyers,Tracey J. Guthrie,Charles L. Roper,Joel D. Cooper,G. Alexander Patterson +6 more
TL;DR: It is believed that mediastinoscopy should currently be used routinely in the diagnosis and staging of thoracic diseases and is a highly effective and safe procedure.

Role of Transesophageal Endosonography-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration in the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer
Annette Fritscher-Ravens,Nib Soehendra,Lars Schirrow,Parupudi V.J. Sriram,Andreas Meyer,Hans Peter Hauber,Almuth Pforte +6 more
TL;DR: EUS-FNA is a safe, reliable, and accurate method to establish the diagnosis of suspected lung cancer when bronchoscopic methods fail, especially in the presence of small nodes.
