Comparative yield of EBUS-TBNA with EBUS-IFBTLP for diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. [PDF]
Background: Patients with mediastinal lymph node enlargement (MLNE) are diagnosed depending on lymph node biopsy. Whereas, how to obtain larger tissue masses from mediastinal lymph nodes and improve the diagnostic yield of the disease remains to be ...

The learning curve for EBUS-TBNA [PDF]
We read with interest the paper by Kemp and colleagues1 which utilises cumulative sum (CUSUM) to analyse the learning curves associated with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). The retrospective study from five centres demonstrated that variable learning periods are required to attain proficiency in the ...

EBUS-TBNA in PET-positive lymphadenopathies in treated cancer patients [PDF]
Mediastinal lymph node enlargement is common in the follow-up of patients with previously treated malignancies. The aim of this study is to assess the role of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) for cyto-histological ...

Black pigment on EBUS-TBNA sampling: A case of malignant melanoma. [PDF]
Key message The visualization of black pigment during EBUS‐TBNA suggests a relapse of melanoma. This case highlights the value of EBUS‐TBNA in diagnosing metastatic melanoma, particularly when the macroscopic appearance of the aspirate suggests the ...
