Abstract:

Background: Despite surgical resection or chemo- radiation a significant percentage of patients with lung cancer develop recurrent disease. Although mediastinoscopy is a proven tool in the initial staging of patients, it is more difficult to perform after treatment in patients with suspected lung cancer recurrence. Thus alternative accurate and less invasive methods are needed. Objectives: Our goal was to assess the utility of Endoscopic Ultrasound with Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) in confirming suspected recurrences in patients who were previously treated for lung cancer.
