Description

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has changed the diagnosis of malignant and nonmalignant mediastinal diseases. There are, however, some essential knowledge, technical, and specimen-handling skills that are essential to correctly diagnose and stage lung cancer and other mediastinal disorders. Important changes have been made in TNM-8 nodal staging that have implications on cancer management. In addition, EBUS literature is rapidly expanding and highlights of important studies need to be disseminated.

Learning Objective 1

Understand the TNM-8 nodal staging and different anatomical landmarks that define EBUS lymph node stations.

Learning Objective 2

Discuss the evidence-based best practices and technical skills to successfully perform EBUS transbronchial needle aspirate.
