Summary

The study will include 30 patients with hilar/mediastinal lymph nodes detected by thoracic CT either there was a known lung malignancy (for staging purpose) or not (for diagnosing purpose).

All patients will undergo to EBUS-guided TBNA. Elastography will be performed on all lymph nodes that will be candidates for EBUS TBNA. Mediastinoscopy or other invasive procedures will be performed if EBUS-guided TBNA doesn't provide representative material.
