Abstract Accurate staging improves lung cancer survival by increasing the chances of delivering stage‐appropriate therapy. However, there is underutilization of, and variability in, the use of guideline‐recommended diagnostic tests used to stage lung cancer.

Background Mediastinal diseases are difficult to diagnose due to diverse origins and complex anatomical structure of the mediastinal tissues. The prospective study aimed to compare the diagnostic efficiency of video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) and ...

Abstract Intracardiac tumors, though uncommon, necessitate a swift and accurate diagnosis for personalized treatment and prognosis estimation. While multi‐modality imaging often determines the etiology of these cardiac masses, histological confirmation remains essential for definitive diagnosis and its specific treatment. Since cardiac tumors are often

Does video-mediastinoscopy improve the results of conventional mediastinoscopy?☆ [PDF]
Despite new technologies, mediastinoscopy remains the gold standard for mediastinal staging of lung cancer even though the procedure is not standardised. Introduction of video-mediastinoscopy (VM) may help to overcome this problem as it better visualises the anatomy and allows a more uniform dissection than conventional mediastinoscopy (CM).

Outpatient video-mediastinoscopy [PDF]
We reviewed our experience with video-mediastinoscopy as an outpatient procedure. From November 2002 to May 2003, 20 video-mediastinoscopies were performed on an out-patient basis. There were no operative deaths. No surgical complication is reported in a patient requiring readmission and antibiotic therapy for left pneumonia.

Extracellular glypican‐1 affects tumor progression and prognosis in esophageal cancer
This study presents novel findings on the role of glypican‐1 (GPC1) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We confirmed that high concentrations of GPC1 protein in preoperative plasma are significantly related to advanced stage and distant metastatic recurrence and was an independent poor prognostic factor in ESCC patients (p = 0.010, HR = 4.22).

Importance of mediastinal granulomatous/sarcoid‐like lymphadenopathy in extrathoracic malignancies
Abstract Background In patients with extrathoracic malignancies (ETM), granulomatous lymph adenopathy called sarcoid‐like reactions (SLR) can be seen in the regional or draining lymph nodes. We hypothesized that SLR may be a sign of imminent metastasis and investigated the clinical course and rate of recurrence in patients with ETM and granulomatous ...

Video Mediastinoscopically Assisted Tracheal Release in Treatment of Long Tracheal Stenosis
The main prerequisite for the unimpaired wound healing after resection of tracheal stenosis is its tension-free end-to-end anastomosis. This is only achievable when the tracheal ends can be adequately mobilized.
