Abstract
Background: In certain patients with lung cancer, guidelines recommend endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) as the primary method to evaluate for metastatic mediastinal lymph nodes, defining pN2 disease. EBUS-TBNA has associated costs and complications and possibly limited availability.
