Evaluation of Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) for Staging Lung Cancer
- Conditions
- Lung Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT01799980
- Lead Sponsor
- Ottawa Hospital Research Institute
- Brief Summary
This study will compare two different methods of staging lung cancer to determine whether endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) staging of mediastinal lymph nodes will provide good diagnostic yield in detecting lung cancer, when compared to current methods of a staging bronchoscopy and cervical mediastinoscopy.
