Rationale: Data about the influence of type sedation on yield, complications, and tolerance endobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) are based mostly retrospective studies largely inconsistent.Objectives: To determine whether influences diagnostic yield EBUS-TBNA, its complication rates, patient tolerance.Methods: Patients referred for EBUS-TBNA were randomized (1:1) to undergo this procedure under general anesthesia (GA) or moderate (MS). Pathologists...
Rationale: Data regarding the sensitivity of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for staging lung cancer in patients with radiographic N0 disease is scant and inconsistent. With increasing use nonoperative ablative therapies, studies focusing on performance characteristics EBUS-TBNA this population are important.Objectives: To evaluate negative predictive value (NPV) non-small cell both by computed tomography (CT) positron emission (PET)-CT.Methods:...
ABSTRACT Background and objective Standard nodal staging of lung cancer consists positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( PET / CT ), followed by endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration EBUS‐TBNA ) if shows mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Sensitivity in patients with N0 N1 disease is unclear largely based on retrospective studies. We assessed the sensitivity this setting. Methods enrolled proven or suspected staged as without metastatic M0 who underwent ....
Background While therapeutic bronchoscopy has been used to treat malignant central (CAO) airway obstruction for >25 years, there are no studies quantifying the impact of on long-term quality-adjusted survival. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study consecutive patients undergoing CAO. Patients had follow-up at 1 week and monthly thereafter until death. Outcomes included technical success (ie, relief anatomic obstruction), dyspnoea, health-related quality life (HRQOL)...
Abstract Background Granulomatous inflammation has been previously reported in association with cancer. Endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a new minimally invasive test for investigating mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The identification of granulomatous by EBUS-TBNA and the clinical implications such detection series patients treated cancer lymphadenopathy not performed. Methods All 153 consecutive undergoing an academic institution suspected...
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) biopsy is routinely used to stage lung cancer; however, its usefulness in diagnosing lymphoproliferative disorders has not been well established. In this retrospective study, we determined the utility of EBUS-TBNA evaluating mediastinal lymphadenopathy patients with suspected disorders.The authors searched pathology database at their institution identify all who had undergone for possible disorders. The cytologic...
We performed a study to determine if fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-based assay using isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with DNA probes targeting specific sites on chromosomes known have abnormalities non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases could detect circulating genetically abnormal (CACs).We evaluated 59 NSCLC stage I through IV disease and 24 controls. PBMCs matched tumors were hybridized 2 two-color [3p22.1/CEP3 10q22.3 (SP-A)/CEP10) four-color [CEP3,...
Non-small cell lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer-related death in Western countries. One important approach taken to address this problem development effective chemoprevention strategies. In study, we examined whether cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib, as evidenced by decreased proliferation, biologically active bronchial epithelium current and former smokers. Current or smokers with at least a 20 pack-year (pack-year = number packs cigarettes per day times years smoked) smoking...
