Objective: Correct sampling with a targeted diagnosis of pathological mediastinal lymph
nodes (LNs) accompanying extrathoracic malignancies (ETMs) is necessary to grade tumors …

The author reflects on the study of Schmid-Bindert and co-workers which evaluates the
ability to malignancy of mediastinal lymph nodes (LN) by endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) …

BACKGROUND: The diagnostic yield and accuracy of new approaches to diagnose cancer
should focus on comparison with established surgical techniques. Our objective was to …

Background and objective: Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is now widely used in patients
with resectable non‐small‐cell lung cancer to sample mediastinal lymph nodes (LN) for …

Introduction There are several papers on the sonographic features of mediastinal lymph
nodes affected by several diseases, but none gives the importance and clinical utility of the …

PURPOSE: The visualization of the parabronchial structures is very important especially in
case of lymph node staging, diagnosis of intrapulmonary tumors and/or unknown hilar or …

Objective. The overall management and prognosis of a cancer patient depends on the
histopathology, molecular genetics and staging of the disease. Staging refers to the size and …

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT)
