N2 - Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS FNA) and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS TBNA) are the techniques of choice in case mediastinal nodal sampling is indicated for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. Combined endosonographic nodal staging (EUS and EBUS) improves nodal staging versus either procedure alone. Incorporation of endosonography in the staging algorithm for non-small cell lung cancer improves locoregional staging, reduces both the number of mediastinoscopies and unnecessary thoracotomies, and is cost-effective. EUS performed with the EBUS scope (EUS-B) seems similar to conventional EUS for mediastinal nodal staging. EUS and EBUS can diagnose intrapulmonary tumors, in case they are located adjacent to the esophagus and major airways, respectively.
