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 who were being considered for precise radiation therapy (SBRT) took part. The goal was to see if the extra test helps doctors better determine if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes, which could change treatment plans.
