Background More than 80% of donor lungs are potentially injured and therefore not considered
suitable for transplantation. With the use of normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP), …

Study objectives: Although various techniques are available for obtaining pathology specimens
from the mediastinal lymph nodes, including conventional bronchoscopic transbronchial …

Background The increased detection of small-sized peripheral non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
has renewed interest in sublobar resection in lieu of lobectomy. Methods We …

Background Major issues in the implementation of screening for lung cancer by means of
low-dose computed tomography (CT) are the definition of a positive result and the …

Study objectives To perform a prospective comparison of direct real-time endobronchial
ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA), positron emission …

OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to compare endobronchial ultrasound-guided
transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) with mediastinoscopy for mediastinal lymph node …

During the staging process of lung cancer, accurate mediastinal lymph node staging is one
of the important factors which affect patient management. The purpose of the current study …

Background Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) was introduced in the last decade, enabling
real-time guidance of transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) of mediastinal and hilar …

OBJECTIVE: Normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion is a novel method to evaluate and improve
the function of injured donor lungs. We reviewed our experience with 50 consecutive …

Background Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)
is a minimally invasive procedure with a high yield for lymph node staging of lung cancer. …
