Indolent behavior of malignant Bethesda III nodules compared to Bethesda V/VI nodules
CONCLUSIONS: Cancers with Bethesda III cytology had a less aggressive clinical phenotype with better prognosis compared to V/VI despite histological similarities. The time to remission was shorter in Bethesda III despite a longer interval between diagnosis and surgery. The initial cytological diagnosis may guide management.PMID:38415340 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae108 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Factors associated with increased diagnostic yield of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration: an observational single center study
CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the number of passes during EBUS-TBNA can maximize the diagnostic yield, especially when CT and/or PET/CT results are inconclusive.PMID:38410574 | PMC:PMC10894410 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1369 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial miniforceps biopsy an urban center experience
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that combining EBUS-MFB with EBUS-TBNA can improve the diagnostic yield, particularly in benign cases and sarcoidosis. These findings support the potential superiority of adding EBUS-MFB over EBUS-TBNA alone and highlight the need for further randomized control trials to validate these results. The retrospective nature of this study and certain limitations, such as the lack of adequate longer-term follow-up, selection and operator biases, and the absence of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in some cases, should be considered when interpreting the results. Nonetheless, this study contributes t...
