Filter by:The goal of this prospective, multi-centre, randomised controlled clinical study is to compare the diagnostic efficacy and safety of the three biopsy techniques (EBUS-TBNA, EBUS-TBCB, and EBUS-TBFB) in mediastinal/hilar lymph node biopsies. Participants will divided into EBUS-TBNA group, EBUS-TBCB group, and EBUS-TBFB group at a 1:1:1 ratio by using central, computerized random sequence, and then undertake EBUS-TBNA, EBUS-TBCB, or EBUS-TBFB according to the group. Researchers will compare the adequacy of sampling by the three biopsy techniques, their sample quality, diagnostic rate, and incidence of each adverse events.
Mediastinal lymph nodes enlargement with short axis diameter >15 mm is conventionally defined as a mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The causes of mediastinal lymphadenopathy can be malignant or benign, (infectious, inflammatory, and other such as drug toxicity).
Cryobiopsy of peripheral lymph nodes with suspected malignant potential with comparison to standard core needle biopsy.
Study hypothesis is that combining the advantages of hybrid PET/MRI and the high sensitivity/specificity of 16-alpha-18F-fluoro-17-beta-estradiol(FES), a radiolabeled form of estrogen binding to functionally active ER, the investigators could obtain a reliable, non-invasive, operator-independent, one-stage imaging method for staging LumA and ER-positive Lobular tumours.
The main purpose of the present study is to compare the diagnostic yield of different aspiration techniques in Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in the diagnosis of hilar/mediastinal adenopathy
Evaluation of the role of Ultrasound Elastography in differentiation between benign and malignant lymph nodes and its additional information over the classic gray scale and color Doppler ultrasound.
This study aims to determine whether a new type of needle used for sampling lymph nodes (glands) around the airways of the lung, during a procedure called an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS, provides more or better quality tissue to allow a definite diagnosis to be made than with the current standard sampling needle. Two hundred and fifty patients will be randomised to procedures using either the new or standard needle, and the results compared.
Lymphadenopathy is defined as an abnormality in the size or character of lymph nodes caused by the invasion or propagation of either inflammatory or neoplastic cells into the nodes Accurate lymph node characterization is important for a wide number of clinical situations, including prognosis, prediction, selecting and monitoring treatment, beyond the diagnosis itself (cancer, lymphoma, or inflammatory nodes)
This is a study comparing routine inclusion of the lower neck in initial CT thorax in patients with suspected lung cancer to not including it. The study aims to assess whether such an intervention reduces the number of invasive investigations required to achieve a final diagnosis and clinical stage and whether it improves the detection of cervical lymph nodes involvement by lung cancer.
A randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the outcomes of SMA- and SMV- orientated laparoscopic right hemicoloectomy for right colon cancer with a medial-to-lateral approach
