EUS-B-FNA vs conventional EUS-FNA for left adrenal gland analysis in lung cancer patients

Highlights • A novel endoscopic approach for left adrenal gland (LAG) analysis is proposed. • By inserting the EBUS scope into the esophagus (EUS-B) the LAG can be assessed. • Success rate and diagnostic accuracy of EUS-B are comparable with conventional EUS. • Nodal (N) and LAG (M) lung cancer stag...

Description
Summary:Highlights • A novel endoscopic approach for left adrenal gland (LAG) analysis is proposed. • By inserting the EBUS scope into the esophagus (EUS-B) the LAG can be assessed. • Success rate and diagnostic accuracy of EUS-B are comparable with conventional EUS. • Nodal (N) and LAG (M) lung cancer staging can be performed with a single EBUS scope.
