Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2565. [PMID: 37568927 PMCID: PMC10417616 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13152565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) has been widely used to stage lung tumors and to diagnose mediastinal diseases. In the last decade, this procedure has evolved in several technical aspects, with new tools available to optimize tissue sampling and to increase its diagnostic yield, like elastography, different types of needles and, most recently, miniforceps and cryobiopsy. Accordingly, the indications for the use of the EBUS scope into the airways to perform the Endobronchial Ultrasound-TransBronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has also extended beyond the endobronchial and thoracic boundaries to sample lesions from the liver, left adrenal gland and retroperitoneal lymph nodes via the gastroesophageal tract, performing the Endoscopic UltraSound with Bronchoscope-guided Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-B-FNA). In this review, we summarize and critically discuss the main indication for the use of the EBUS scope, even the more uncommon, to underline its utility and versatility in clinical practice.

Abstract
Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in the diagnostic armamentarium of the pulmonologist. As the expertise with EBUS-TBNA has evolved and several innovations have occurred, the indications for its use have expanded. However, several aspects of EBUS-TBNA are still not standardized. Hence, evidence-based guidelines are needed to optimize the diagnostic yield and safety of EBUS-TBNA. For this purpose, a working group of experts from India was constituted. A detailed and systematic search was performed to extract relevant literature pertaining to various aspects of EBUS-TBNA. The modified GRADE system was used for evaluating the level of evidence and assigning the strength of recommendations. The final recommendations were framed with the consensus of the working group after several rounds of online discussions and a two-day in-person meeting. These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations encompassing indications of EBUS-TBNA, pre-procedure evaluation, sedation and anesthesia, technical and procedural aspects, sample processing, EBUS-TBNA in special situations, and training for EBUS-TBNA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Thyroid cancer is usually diagnosed both with imaging techniques and transdermal biopsy. Laboratory tests are also included in the initial work-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty patients were included in our study with pathological imaging findings in the thyroid region. Biopsies were performed with 22 G with transdermal convex probe, EBUS 22 G Mediglobe® needle and 19 G Olympus® needle. We investigated the efficiency and safety of both techniques and identified the best candidates for each method. DISCUSSION 19 G needle identified cancer types such as; Lymphoma, Medullary thyroid cancer, and Hurthle cell cancer, which we know from previous pathology studies that a larger sample is necessary for diagnosis. No safety issues were observed for both techniques and the EBUS technique produced more cell block material when 22 G needle was compared to transdermal biopsy in peritracheal lesions. CONCLUSION The method of biopsy should be made based on the size and accessibility of the lesion.
