Combined Endosonographic Mediastinal Lymph Node Staging in Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography Node-Negative Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in high-risk patients

This study was performed in order to define the prevalence of mediastinal LN metastases discovered on combined endosonography by endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) fine needle aspiration in patients with a radiologically normal mediastinum. This study consists of a retrospective, single-institution, tertiary care referral center review of a prospectively maintained database.
