Value of Rapid on Site Evaluation During Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Trans-bronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in the Diagnosis of Mediastinal Lesions
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating EBUS TBNA of mediastinal lesions or lymph nodes for Mediastinum. Completed, enrolled 67 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This prospective study will include 30 patients with hilar/mediastinal lymph nodes detected by thoracic CT either there was a known lung malignancy (for staging purpose) or not (for diagnosing purpose). All patients will undergo to ROSE during EBUS-guided TBNA. Mediastinoscopy or other invasive procedures will be performed if EBUS-guided TBNA doesn't provide representative material.
