Purpose: To evaluate the role of different invasive and non-invasive mediastinal staging methods in patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy in the prospective XXX trial (XXX; NCTXXX) and to evaluate the impact of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and mediastinoscopy on target volume definition.
Methods: Patients treated per-protocol (n = 172), all receiving isotoxically dose-escalated chemoradiotherapy, were included in this unplanned secondary analysis. Radiation treatment planning was based on an F-FDG PET/CT targeting all CT positive lymph nodes (i.

Background: Follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma is a distinct subtype of papillary thyroid carcinoma that can occasionally present with aggressive features, including distant metastases and extrathyroidal extension. While radioactive iodine ablation is a well-established treatment for residual disease, its post-treatment effects on tracheal and paratracheal structures remain poorly characterized.
Case Presentation: A 22-year-old male individual of Taiwanese descent presented with an enlarged neck mass and was diagnosed with follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Background And Objective: Echo features of lymph nodes (LNs) influence target selection during endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). This study evaluates deep learning's diagnostic capabilities on EBUS images for detecting mediastinal LN metastasis in lung cancer, emphasising the added value of integrating a region of interest (ROI), LN size on CT, and PET-CT findings.
Methods: We analysed 2901 EBUS images from 2055 mediastinal LN stations in 1454 lung cancer patients.

Lung adenocarcinoma is a common malignancy that can metastasize. The lung is also a common site for metastasis from other sites. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is critical for patient management.
