welcomes you to the new, improved website!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%).
