Could central bronchial deformity in pulmonary sarcoidosis be a sign of upper lobe fibrosis?

Background Central bronchial deformity (CBD) has been proposed as a radiological marker of a fibrotic upper-lobe phenotype in pulmonary sarcoidosis. Purpose To evaluate whether CBD and predefined high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings at diagnosis predict the upper-l...

Diagnostic and Molecular Yield of a Multidisciplinary Team-Guided Combined Endobronchial and Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Sampling Strategy for Mediastinal and Hilar Lymphadenopathy

BACKGROUND: Real-world data examining structured modality selection for mediastinal/hilar adenopathy in mixed malignant and benign cohorts is limited. We evaluated the performance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT)-guided strategy incorporating EBUS/EUS-B and EUS for both benign a...
