Role of EUS-FNA in Recurrent Lung Cancer: Maximum Results with Minimum (minimally invasive) Effort

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is an excellent method for primary lung cancer staging. We describe a 66-year-old male who underwent EUS-FNA for the diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer. Two years after initial radiation therapy followed by complete remission, routine fol...

description Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is an excellent method for primary lung cancer staging. We describe a 66-year-old male who underwent EUS-FNA for the diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer. Two years after initial radiation therapy followed by complete remission, routine follow-up imaging study revealed a mass in the right hilum. Trans-esophageal EUS revealed a 1.3-cm mass and the result of EUS-FNA was consistent with non-small lung cancer. EUS-FNA can play an important role in diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer as well as primary staging avoiding the more invasive diagnostic technique.
