Brief Summary
As the use of endoscopic ultrasonography for mediastinal diagnosis and/or staging is widely spread in Belgium, the investigators aimed to determine the number of mediastinoscopies needed to detect one additional mediastinal lymph node invasion during routine clinical practice in the staging of potentially resectable clinical stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Consecutive patients with (suspected) NSCLC in whom invasive mediastinal staging is required based on presence of ACCP group B mediastinal lymph nodes and/or FDG-PET positive (visual interpretation of FDG uptake in mediastinal nodes as present) mediastinal lymph nodes (either ACCP group B or ACCP group D) in lymph node stations 2, 4, 7, 8 or 9 (see Appendix).
- Potentially operable and resectable disease.
- Radically treated previous extrathoracic malignancies are allowed whenever the extrathoracic malignancy is considered in remission, and a primary parenchymal lung tumour is present.
- Provision of a written informed consent.
You may not qualify if:
- Previous cervical mediastinoscopy.
- Uncorrected coagulopathy.
- Former treatment for a lung cancer.
- Patient unable to give a written informed consent.
- Absence of a primary parenchymal lung tumour.
- Distant metastases (cM1 disease) after routine clinical work-up.
- Clinical N2/3 disease only based on suspected mediastinal lymph nodes in stations 5 or 6.
- Patients belonging to ACCP groups A and C based on CT scan.
