Abstract
Endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration can effectively sample mediastinal lymph node stations in patients with lung cancer. However, in this early experience, 28% of patients with high clinical suspicion of nodal disease had N2 mediastinal nodal metastases confirmed by mediastinoscopy despite negative EBUS-TBNA.
