There is growing recognition of the utility of EBUS in staging NSCLC. In this study EBUS and mediastinoscopy were performed in 127 patients requiring mediastinal staging for clinical N1-3 NSCLC. The authors found that EBUS had superior accuracy (93% vs 89%) and negative predictive value (85% vs 79%).
