Endoscopic ultrasound and endobronchial ultrasound are new tools for the mediastinal staging of non-small-cell lung cancer. These techniques allow minimally invasive and accurate sampling of mediastinal lymph nodes. Navani et al. discuss the current methods available for mediastinal lymph-node staging, focusing on endoscopic and endobronchial ultrasound. The authors present a new diagnostic algorithm incorporating these techniques for the intra-thoracic staging of non-small-cell lung cancer.
