- Abstract
Background and objective Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has been gradually universal application, but its value in the preoperative staging of lung cancer and mediastinal mass biopsy remains to be explored. The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of clinical application between mediastinoscopy and EBUS-TBNA, desiring to provide an objective basis for the rational choice applications. Methods Between July 2009 and December 2012, mediastinoscopy patients with 361 cases accepted biopsy, including 199 cases of lung cancer and 162 cases of mediastinal mass of unknown origin, EBUS-TBNA patients with 348 cases accepted biopsy, including 216 cases of lung cancer and 132 cases of mediastinal mass. Comparing the diagnostic results and related indicators of two methods, this article analyzed the clinical value both the preoperative staging of lung cancer and the diagnosis of mediastinal mass. Results Taking pathology diagnosis as the gold standard, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of mediastinoscopy and EBUS-TBNA are 98.33%, 98.17%, 100% and 90.80%, 90.00%, 100%. Two techniques in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer have not statistically significant (P>0.05), but in the diagnosis of mediastinal mass have statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Mediastinoscopy and EBUS-TBNA have a similar role in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer; but mediastinoscopy for mediastinal mass is superior to EBUS-TBNA.
