Site Evaluation

Background. Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is commonly used to evaluate the adequacy of biopsy materials in fine-needle aspiration; however, the diagnostic performance of ROSE during fiber optic bronchoscopy (FOB) biopsy under direct vision is rarely reported. Here, we evaluated the role of ROSE during FOB biopsy of visible lesion in trachea or bronchi. Methods. The role of ROSE was prospectively evaluated in consecutive bronchoscopy specimens obtained between January 2016 and January 2018. The agreement and accuracy between ROSE and final histopathological interpretation were assessed. The frequency and possible reasons for discrepancy between ROSE and definitive histopathology results were identified. Histological and cytological classification was performed according to the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, the American Thoracic Society, and the European Respiratory Society (IASLC/ATS/ERS) criteria of lung ADCs classification. Results. The study enrolled 651 patients, of which 33 were excluded because of insufficient cells. Final diagnosis of malignancy was achieved in 462 cases (74.8%), whereas 156 cases (25.2%) were nonmalignant. ROSE and pathology were well correlated for the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (Kappa = 0.718, p<0.05), adenocarcinoma (AdC) (Kappa = 0.662; p<0.05) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (Kappa = 0.955; p<0.05). In 24 cases diagnosed as malignant by ROSE and nonmalignant by pathology, the lesion tissues were surgically excised and re-analyzed, and the 24 cases were finally confirmed as malignant by pathology. Conclusions. ROSE technique allows bronchoscopists to obtain viable and adequate material for the diagnosis of histopathology, and provides them with an onsite preliminary diagnosis especially in cases with inconclusive macroscopic appearance. ROSE and pathology should be used in combination to increase the accuracy of diagnosis.

Transbronchial Needle Aspiration

Objective: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive, safe and accurate method for collecting samples from mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. This study focused on the initial results obtained with EBUS-TBNA for lung cancer and lymph node staging at three teaching hospitals in Brazil. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with lung cancer and submitted to EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymph node staging. The EBUS-TBNA procedures, which involved the use of an EBUS scope, an ultrasound processor, and a compatible, disposable 22 G needle, were performed while the patients were under general anesthesia. Results: Between January of 2011 and January of 2014, 149 patients underwent EBUS-TBNA for lymph node staging. The mean age was 66 ± 12 years, and 58% were male. A total of 407 lymph nodes were sampled by EBUS-TBNA. The most common types of lung neoplasm were adenocarcinoma (in 67%) and squamous cell carcinoma (in 24%). For lung cancer staging, EBUS-TBNA was found to have a sensitivity of 96%, a specificity of 100%, and a negative predictive value of 85%. Conclusions: We found EBUS-TBNA to be a safe and accurate method for lymph node staging in lung cancer patients.

Abstract Objectives In patients with lung cancer undergoing mediastinal staging through endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), decisions are based on rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) findings. We aimed to analyze the concordance rate between ROSE diagnosis and final diagnosis. Methods A prospective study was carried out in patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA for lung cancer staging. Diagnosis concordance was defined as cases where lymph nodes (LNs) presented the same diagnosis in ROSE and final diagnosis. Determinants of concordance were analyzed. Results Sixty-four patients were included and 637 LNs sampled. ROSE diagnosis was concordant with final diagnosis in 612 (96.1%) LNs and nonconcordant in 25 (3.9%). Differences in the concordance rate were found between pathologists, ROSE diagnoses, presence of cell block, number of passes, and number of slides. The staging status was changed between ROSE and the final diagnosis in three (4.6%) patients. Conclusions ROSE diagnosis has a high concordance with the final diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive diagnostic test with a high diagnostic yield for suspicious central pulmonary lesions and for mediastinal lymph node staging. The main objective of this study was to describe the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymph node staging in patients with suspected lung cancer. METHODS: Prospective study of patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA for diagnosis. Patients ≥ 18 years of age were recruited between July of 2010 and August of 2013. We recorded demographic variables, radiological characteristics provided by axial CT of the chest, location of the lesion in the mediastinum as per the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer classification, and definitive diagnostic result (EBUS with a diagnostic biopsy or a definitive diagnostic method). RESULTS: Our analysis included 354 biopsies, from 145 patients. Of those 145 patients, 54.48% were male. The mean age was 63.75 years. The mean lymph node size was 15.03 mm, and 90 lymph nodes were smaller than 10.0 mm. The EBUS-TBNA method showed a sensitivity of 91.17%, a specificity of 100.0%, and a negative predictive value of 92.9%. The most common histological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: EBUS-TBNA is a diagnostic tool that yields satisfactory results in the staging of neoplastic mediastinal lesions.

Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer

Objectives: Conventional bronchoscopic techniques and computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle aspiration are widely used in the diagnosis of lung cancer. In some patients diagnosis can be challenging. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration can be used in the diagnosis of lung cancer after procedures have failed to provide a diagnosis. We aimed to show the effectiveness of Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in the diagnosis of lung cancer in view of the literature and to share the experience from Turkey. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted between 2014 and 2019. Forty-five patients who were suspected of having lung cancer and underwent Endobronchial ultrasound because diagnosis was not confirmed using methods such as bronchoscopy, computed tomography transthoracic needle aspiration, and peripheral lymph node excision, were included in the study. Results: Three hundred sixty-eight Endobronchial ultrasound procedures were performed. Forty-five patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Using Endobronchial ultrasound, samples were taken from only mass in eight patients (17.8%), lymph nodes in 30 patients (66.7%), and mass + lymph node in seven (15.5%) patients. Minor complications were seen in five (11.1%) patients and no major complications were seen. Definitive diagnosis was obtained in 35 (77.7%) patients with Endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration. Non-small cell lung cancer was identified in 16 patients (45.7%), small cell lung cancer was seen in 15 (42.8%) patients. Seven of ten undiagnosed patients underwent surgical procedures. Conclusion: Endobronchial ultrasound, is an effective and safe method for diagnosing lung cancer after undiagnosed procedures. In selected cases, it can be the first choice for the diagnosis of lung cancer.

The evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes is critical for the correct staging of patients with lung cancer (LC). Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive technique for mediastinal staging, though unfortunately lymph node micrometastasis is often missed by cytological analysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive capacity of methylation biomarkers and provide a classification rule for predicting malignancy in false negative EBUS-TBNA samples. The study included 112 patients with a new or suspected diagnosis of LC that were referred to EBUS-TBNA. Methylation of p16/INK4a, MGMT, SHOX2, E-cadherin, DLEC1, and RASSF1A was quantified by nested methylation-specific qPCR in 218 EBUS-TBNA lymph node samples. Cross-validated linear regression models were evaluated to predict malignancy. According to EBUS-TBNA and final diagnosis, 90 samples were true positives for malignancy, 110 were true negatives, and 18 were false negatives. MGMT, SHOX2, and E-cadherin were the methylation markers that better predicted malignancy. The model including sex, age, short axis diameter and standard uptake value of adenopathy, and SHOX2 showed 82.7% cross-validated sensitivity and 82.4% specificity for the detection of malignant lymphadenopathies among negative cytology samples. Our results suggest that the predictive model approach proposed can complement EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal staging.

Trans-bronchial needle aspiration allows lymph node sampling in several thoracic conditions; the ability of Rapid On-Site Evaluation (ROSE) to predict the final diagnosis in this setting has not been well characterized. We performed a retrospective study to establish the utility of ROSE in the diagnosis of thoracic diseases with mediastinal lymph node involvement. We retrospectively reviewed 297 patients with hilar-mediastinal lymph node enlargement detected at CT scan from January 2013 to April 2016. 201 patients underwent conventional TBNA; in 96 patients, TBNA procedure was performed by on-site presence of a team of pathologists and research morphologists. Lung neoplasms, sarcoidosis, infections and lymphoma were the most common diseases diagnosed with TBNA samples. TBNA simultaneously performed in combination with ROSE produced an increase in percentage of appropriate samples compared to single cTBNA (adequate samples cTBNA vs ROSE-TBNA: 73% vs 81%; p<0.05). Our observations indicate an increase in adequacy of fine needle aspirations and increased diagnostic yield in the ROSE group. In conclusions, ROSE may serve to reduce procedure time and enhance sample triaging therefore limiting the need for further invasive diagnostic testing.
