Abstract
Reliable pathologic sampling methods are pivotal in the management of lung cancer patients who have undergone either curative intent or palliative treatment previously. Early diagnosis of localized disease recurrence may facilitate further curative treatment and rebiopsy at the point of disease progression during palliative treatment can inform further management. This study assessed the performance of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) lymph node sampling in a cohort of such patients.
