Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Procedure/Bronchoscopy
Patients with enlarged hilar and/or mediastinal lymph nodes and indication for EBUS-TBNA undergo diagnostic bronchoscopy. For characterisation of the enlarged lymph nodes, endobronchial ultrasound with elastography and "Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI)" are used. Afterwards, EBUS-TBNA is performed. The results of elastography and THI are correlated with the cytological results obtained by EBUS-TBNA.
