Accurate mediastinal lymph node staging is crucial for determining prognosis and guiding treatment decisions, particularly for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic search of PubMed was conducted to identify English language articles published between January 2010 and January 2024 focusing on preoperative lymph node staging in adults with NSCLC. Case series, observational studies, randomized trials, guidelines, narrative reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses were included.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Various imaging modalities, surgical and nonsurgical procedures for mediastinal lymph node staging were reviewed, including positron emission tomography with computed tomography, cervical mediastinoscopy, video-assisted cervical mediastinoscopy, anterior mediastinotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EBUS-FNA), transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), and computed tomography-guided percutaneous lymph node biopsy. EBUS-FNA emerged as the preferred initial staging procedure because of its high sensitivity and low complication rate. Combining it with other procedures or confirmatory testing may be helpful in determining appropriate treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although cervical mediastinoscopy remains a valuable confirmatory procedure in select cases, its role as a first-line staging modality is diminishing with the widespread adoption of EBUS-FNA and EUS-FNA. The combination of EBUS-FNA and EUS-FNA allows access to nearly all mediastinal lymph node stations with high diagnostic accuracy. Future research may further refine the selection criteria for invasive mediastinal staging procedures, ultimately optimizing patient outcomes in the management of NSCLC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2024.0138","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]],"date-time":"2024-05-10T09:48:06Z","timestamp":1715334486000},"page":"773-785","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Minimally Invasive with Maximal Yield: A Narrative Review of Current Practices in Mediastinal Lymph Node Staging in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-9452-439X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gustavo R.","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, George Washington University Hospital, Washington, District of Columbia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregory D.","family":"Trachiotis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, George Washington University Hospital, Washington, District of Columbia, USA."},{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Heart Center, Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Washington, District of Columbia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philip S.","family":"Mullenix","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jared L.","family":"Antevil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, George Washington University Hospital, Washington, District of Columbia, USA."},{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Heart Center, Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Washington, District of Columbia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21763"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1513\/AnnalsATS.201711-863OC"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcts.2007.01.075"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezu028"},{"issue":"11","key":"e_1_3_5_6_2","first-page":"CD009519","article-title":"PET-CT for assessing mediastinal lymph node involvement in patients with suspected resectable non-small cell lung cancer","volume":"2014","author":"Schmidt-Hansen M","year":"2014","unstructured":"Schmidt-Hansen M, , Baldwin DR, , Hasler E, et al.
