ObjectiveEndobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is commonly used for clinical diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenectasis. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic significance of EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymphadenectasis in a large single center.MethodsA total of 846 patients who were not definitively diagnosed with mediastinal lymphadenectasis underwent EBUS-TBNA were retrospectively analyzed in this study.ResultsIn total, 842 patients underwent EBUS-TBNA successfully. There were 589 patients with malignancy, including squamous carcinoma (118 cases; 20.6%), adenocarcinoma (187 cases; 32.7%) and small cell carcinoma (88 cases; 15.4%). A total of 253 patients were diagnosed with benign disease, including tuberculosis (111 cases; 43.9%) and sarcoidosis (93 cases; 36.7%). The diagnostic sensitivity of lung cancer, tuberculosis and sarcoidosis were 94.4%, 81.1% and 51.6%, respectively. The overall sensitivity of EBUS-TBNA was 92.0%. N2 stage in lung cancer patients who were diagnosed by EBUS-TBNA was significantly higher than other stages. The positive rate of targeted puncture is high for the lymph nodes whose short-axis diameters were larger than 1cm.ConclusionThe operation risk of EBUS-TBNA is relatively small. In diseases complicated by mediastinal lymphadenectasis, malignant diseases are most, and benign diseases mainly are granulomatous. EBUS-TBNA is a valuable diagnostic technique in patients with mediastinal lymphadenectasis whose diagnosis have not been determined.
