BACKGROUND: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive, reliable technique for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs). Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is widely used for cervical cancer screening because it provides reliable and feasible results. The present study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of the combination of EBUS-TBNA and LBC in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
METHODS: A total of 602 LNs that were retrospectively analyzed were sampled in 442 patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA between January 2014 and December 2016. The histopathological result of TBNA tissue or cell blocks was considered as the gold standard to evaluate diagnostic utility of LBC and conventional smears (CS) for the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
RESULTS: Of the 602 LNs, 265 were mediastinal LN metastases from lung cancer, four were lymphoma, and 333 were benign. The sensitivity of LBC and CS in the diagnosis of mediastinal LN metastases from lung cancer was 72.8% and 63%, respectively, and the specificity was 98.5% and 97%, respectively. The positive predictive values for LBC and CS were 97.5% and 94.4%, respectively, whereas the negative predictive values were 82.2% and 76.9%, respectively. The accuracy of LBC and CS was 88% and 83.7%, respectively. The diagnostic value of LBC was significantly higher than that of CS (P = .001).
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of EBUS-TBNA and LBC is a highly reliable and feasible procedure that optimizes diagnostic utility for the diagnosis of lung cancer and mediastinal LN staging.
