Stage III nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents a wide range of tumour (T1 to T4) and nodal (N0 to N3) components, requiring variable management and a multidisciplinary approach. Recent advancements in minimally invasive techniques, molecular biology and novel drug discoveries have accelerated the refinement of stage III NSCLC management. The latest developments in staging include the forthcoming update of the nodal component in the 9th TNM (tumour-node-metastasis) edition, which emphasises the critical role for endobronchial ultrasonography in mediastinal staging.

Medical ultrasound has emerged as an indispensable tool within interventional pulmonology, revolutionizing diagnostic and procedural practices through its non-invasive nature and real-time visualization capabilities. By harnessing the principles of sound waves and employing a variety of transducer types, ultrasound facilitates enhanced accuracy and safety in procedures such as transthoracic needle aspiration and pleural effusion drainage, consequently leading to improved patient outcomes. Understanding the fundamentals of ultrasound physics is paramount for clinicians, as it forms the basis for interpreting imaging results and optimizing interventions.

There is a growing demand for lung parenchymal-sparing localized therapies due to the rising incidence of multifocal lung cancers and the growing number of patients who cannot undergo surgery. Lung cancer screening has led to the discovery of more pre-malignant or early-stage lung cancers, and the focus has shifted from treatment to prevention. Transbronchial therapy is an important tool in the local treatment of lung cancers, with microwave ablation showing promise based on early and mid-term results.
