Overview

On endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) 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.[1][2]

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)
  • More invasive than endoscopic ultrasound, few practitioners, but rapidly growing in popularity
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
  • Cannot reliably access right sided paratracheal lymph node stations 2R and 4R
  • Accurate discrimination of primary hilar tumors and involved lymph nodes is important
