Urinary bladder cancer is a global disease that poses medical and socioeconomic challenges to patients and healthcare systems. Predicting detrusor invasiveness and pathological grade of bladder cancer by the radiologist is imperative for informed decision-making and effective patient-tailored therapy. Cystoscopy and TURBT are the current gold standard for preoperative histologic diagnosis and local pathological staging but are compromised by their intrusiveness, under-sampling, and staging inaccuracies.

Bladder cancer is categorized into nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), distinguished by the presence of detrusor muscle invasion. Urothelial cell carcinoma is the most common subtype of bladder cancer. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is the standard approach for staging and managing NMIBC, while radical cystectomy remains the cornerstone treatment for MIBC.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines the use of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for restaging non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after initial treatment, validated by a separate procedure called video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy (VAMLA).* -
  • A retrospective analysis of patients showed that EBUS-TBNA has a moderate sensitivity (63.1%) but excellent specificity (100%) for identifying mediastinal disease, while VAMLA confirmed a 100% accuracy when follow-up was needed after a negative EBUS-TBNA result.* -
  • The findings suggest EBUS-TBNA should be the first choice for invasive rest
