  • Title: Combined thoracoscopy and mediastinoscopy for mediastinal lymph node staging of lung cancer.
    Author: Nakanishi R, Yasumoto K.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1996; 81(4):359-61. PubMed ID: 9127795.
    Abstract:
    It is very difficult to obtain accurate staging of mediastinal lymph node metastases (N-staging) in patients with lung cancer. We recommend combined thoracoscopy and mediastinoscopy for the assessment of N-staging. The indications and techniques of these combined procedures are described in this paper. Combined thoracoscopy and mediastinoscopy may provide more accurate N-staging of lung cancer than either procedure alone or a non-invasive staging procedure.
