Current investigative modalities for detecting and staging lung cancers: a comprehensive summary.
Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
January 2023
Article Synopsis
- This review evaluates various imaging techniques for diagnosing and staging lung cancer, comparing common methods like chest X-rays, CT, MRI, and newer options like image-guided bronchoscopy and robotic bronchoscopy.
- It highlights that while chest X-rays are frequently the first step, their effectiveness is questioned due to high false negatives, and CT scans significantly improve outcomes for high-risk patients.
- Additionally, it discusses the specific roles of PET-CT for treatment planning, the limited use of MRI for distant metastases, the supportive role of ultrasound in lymph node assessment, and the growing importance of minimally invasive surgical biopsies.
