Exam mapping & scope
This chapter integrates the 9th edition TNM stage classification with practical, exam‑relevant application of linear endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) for mediastinal staging. It emphasizes imaging triage (CT, PET/CT, brain MRI when appropriate), nodal maps and boundaries, indications for invasive staging, systematic vs targeted EBUS strategies, sample acquisition/processing, complication recognition, and post‑test decision‑making (including when—if ever—to confirm a negative EBUS with mediastinoscopy).
