EBUS-guided TBNA for Molecular Diagnostic of Mediastinal Lymph Nodes (LN)

October 5, 2009 updated by: Heidelberg University

EBUS-guided TBNA for Molecular Diagnostic of Mediastinal Lymph Nodes

The purpose of this study is to perform molecular diagnostic in mediastinal lymph nodes of non-small cell lung cancer patients sampled by endobronchial ultrasound guided finde needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA).

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

NSCLC is a common cancer. Accurate and early staging has a significant impact on outcome. EBUS-TBNA of involved mediastinal lymph nodes is critical. Molecular markers could improve mediastinal staging.
