Esophageal Carcinoma: Clinical TNM Staging with Endosonography and Computed Tomography [PDF]
The prognosis of esophageal carcinoma has remained poor despite improvement of diagnostic modalities. Endosonography and computed tomography were performed for preoperative TNM staging (clinical TNM) of esophageal carcinoma.

Clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of endobronchial and endoscopic ultrasound relative to surgical staging in potentially resectable lung cancer: results from the ASTER randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Objective: To assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of endosonography (followed by surgical staging if endosonography was negative), compared with standard surgical staging alone, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who

Endosonography for Rectal Carcinoma: Preoperative TNM Staging Compared to Histology [PDF]
Transreccal endosonography was performed preoperatively in 58 patients with rectal carcinoma. The results of endosonography were compared to the histology of resected specimens according to the new (1987) TNM (tumour, nodes, metastases) classification ...

Endosonography With or Without Confirmatory Mediastinoscopy for Resectable Lung Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial. [PDF]
PURPOSE:Resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a high probability of mediastinal nodal involvement requires mediastinal staging by endosonography and, in the absence of nodal metastases, confirmatory mediastinoscopy according to current ...
