  • Title: Combined thoracoscopy and mediastinoscopy for the evaluation of mediastinal lymph node metastasis in left upper lobe lung cancer.
    Author: Nakanishi R, Mitsudomi T, Osaki T.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 1994 Aug; 35(4):347-9. PubMed ID: 7929551.
    Abstract:
    Cervical mediastinoscopy has an important but limited role in the evaluation of mediastinal adenopathy of the aorticopulmonary window in patients with left lung cancer. Thoracoscopy is another valuable diagnostic procedure in the assessment of mediastinal adenopathy. Combined thoracoscopic and mediastinoscopic evaluation may be more accurate for assessing mediastinal lymph node metastasis in left lung cancer than either procedure alone.
