E- Predict: EBUS ELASTOGRAPHY STRAIN in Lung Cancer

NCT02488928 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 327

Summary

EBUS elastography is a method to determine stiffness of lymph nodes, based on the minute deformation of the node by the beating heart. Whether EBUS elastography may further increase the sensitivity to predict the presence or absence of malignancy is unclear.

We suggest to use EBUS elastography strain pattern analysis for this assessment and correlate these measurements with the final pathology outcome to determine NPV, PPV, sensitivity and specificity of this analysis to predict the presence or absence of malignancy in patients with (suspected) lung cancer in a prospectively obtained observational cohort study.
