Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In the UK, staging of lung cancer is time consuming (taking on average more than 3 weeks), costly and inaccurate in up to 20% of cases. The investigators wish to determine whether using the newer techniques of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) improves lung cancer staging. The investigators' hypothesis is that EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) or EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspirate) as a first test after CT scan in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer will result in a reduction in the time from first outpatient appointment to treatment decision, a reduction in the total number of scans and investigative operations, fewer outpatient attendances and a reduction in healthcare costs.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

B

Control arm: Current practice for diagnosing and staging lung cancer. Most patients with intra-thoracic disease suspected of lung cancer will undergo bronchoscopy (or CT guided biopsy), PET scan and possibly mediastinoscopy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Bronchoscopy, CT-guided biopsy, PET scan, Mediastinoscopy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Investigations will be determined by the multi-disciplinary team responsible for the patient

A

Active arm: A new pathway for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer with endobronchial (EBUS) or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) as a first test. If EBUS or EUS is negative the patient will have PET scan +/- mediastinoscopy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Endobronchial or Endoscopic Ultrasound

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients with anterior mediastinal or subcarinal disease will undergo EBUS. Patients with posterior, subcarinal or AP window disease will undergo EUS. Patients with no mediastinal disease on CT scan will undergo EBUS.
