A study on Transesophageal Endoscopic Ultrasonographic detection of Mediastinal Lymph node involvement in non-small cell lung cancer
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the commomest cancer by prevalence and incidence. Treatment of Lung cancer depends on staging. Staging of Lung cancer includes mediastinal nodes.Mediastinal nodes can be detected by imaging like x-ray , CT scan, MRI and also by Endoscopic Ultrasound.We did a study to see whether mediastinal nodes could be picked up by Endoscopic USG as much as it could be picked up by CT scan. Aim: To compare the detection rate of mediastinal lymph node involvement in non-small cell lung cancer by xray chest, Computed tomographic (CT) scan of chest with transesophageal endoscopic ultrasonography.
