Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with operable and resectable (suspected) NSCLC
- Patients with clinical N1 staging based on PET/CT
- Only T1, T2, and selected T3 (i.e. intraparenchymal tumour \>7cm, chest wall, or additional nodule in the same lobe) are allowed.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes on chest CT or FDG-PET positive mediastinal lymph nodes
- Patients with a central tumour staged T3 or any T4.
- All stage IV patients.
- Patient unable to give informed consent.
- Patient previously underwent a mediastinoscopy.
- Tracheal or upper airway stenosis.
