Objective: To evaluate the technical feasibility and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of extended cervical mediastinoscopy (ECM) in the staging of bronchogenic carcinoma (BC) of the left lung.
Methods: From 1998 to 2003, 89 patients underwent routine ECM for staging of BC of the left lung. In 2004, positron emission tomography (PET) was included in our staging protocol and ECM was reserved for those with positive mediastinal or hilar PET images, large lymph nodes on computed tomography (CT) scan or central tumours.
Purpose: To evaluate diagnostic procedures, reasons for exploratory thoracotomy (ET), causes of unresectability of lung cancer, possibility for reducing numbers of ETs, and the influence of ET on survival.
Patients And Methods: Between 1990 and 1999, 1808 patients with lung cancer were operated on. ET was performed in 165 (9.
