Summary
This study looked at whether adding a special scope test (EBUS-TBNA) after a standard PET/CT scan can more accurately stage early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. About 150 patients with stage I-IIA cancer who were being considered for radiation therapy took part. The goal was to see if the extra test helps doctors better determine if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes, which guides treatment choices.
