Overview
On endobronchial and endoscopic ultrasound, characteristic findings of non-small cell lung cancer include: enlarged lymph nodes and local invasion to adjacent bronchial structures and mediastinum. Endobronchial ultrasound is a first-line diagnostic modality for mediastinal staging.
Ultrasound
Endobronchial ultrasound is a first-line diagnostic modality for mediastinal staging.The sensitivity of endobronchial ultrasound is 90% and specificity is 97%.[1][2]
- Uses of endobronchial ultrasound, include:
- Evaluation of lymph nodes and other structures in the mediastinum
- Mediastinal invasion staging
- Determination of management strategy
- Real time evaluation of structures
- On ultrasound (endobronchial ultrasound), characteristic findings of non-small cell lung cancer, include: [3]
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Local invasion to adjacent bronchial structures and mediastinum
- The table below summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of both ultrasound modalities, for the diagnostic assessment of non-small cell lung cancer.
Procedure Advantages Disadvantages Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) - Direct visualization of lymph node stations.
- Complements endoscopic ultrasound: covers lymph node stations 2R and 4R which are difficult to access by endoscopic ultrasound
- Lower false-negative rate than with blind transbronchial fine needle aspiration and fewer complications
- More invasive than endoscopic ultrasound, few practitioners, but rapidly growing in popularity
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) - Least invasive modality
- Uses the esophagus to access mediastinal lymph nodes
- Excellent for staging lymph nodes
- Useful for station 2L and 4L, L adrenal, celiac lymph node
- Cannot reliably access right sided paratracheal lymph node stations 2 R and 4R
- Accurate discrimination of primary hilar tumors and involved lymph nodes is important

Doppler endoscopic ultrasound: mediastinal lymph node -
Endoscopic ultrasound: A biopsy window is found and an fine needle aspiration advanced into the mass -
Endoscopic ultrasound: A lung mass which is partially behind the aorta is seen with endoscopic ultrasound
