Combined endobronchial and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration for mediastinal lymph node staging of lung cancer: A meta-analysis

The current evidence suggests that the combined technique is more sensitive than EBUS-TBNA or EUS-FNA alone. The diagnostic power of this combined technique is accurate. As an almost completely minimally-invasive examination, EUS-FNA plus EBUS-TBNA may replace more invasive methods for evaluating mediastinal node staging of lung cancer.
