Retrospective analysis reveals high sensitivity and specificity in patient staging, validating guideline criteria.

Video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy demonstrates 98.68% sensitivity and 100% specificity for staging mediastinal lymph nodes.
Among 1640 patients, 374 (22.8%) had mediastinal lymph node metastases detected post-procedure, indicating effective staging.
The study evaluates patients who underwent invasive staging from 2008 to 2019, highlighting high accuracy and low complication rates.
These findings support the guideline criteria for invasive mediastinal staging selection and its practical effectiveness.

Greif et al. (2025) studied this question.
