      Background:
      A fourth of patients with cN1-NSCLC based on PET-CT imaging are at risk for occult mediastinal nodal involvement. In a previous prospective study, endosonography alone had an unsatisfactory sensitivity (38%) to detect mediastinal nodal disease. This prospective multicenter trial investigated the sensitivity of preoperative mediastinal staging by video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) in patients with cN1 (suspected) NSCLC.

      Method:
      Consecutive patients with operable and resectable cN1 (suspected) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) underwent a VAM or VAM-lymphadenectomy (VAMLA). All patients underwent FDG–PET and CT-scan. The primary study outcome was sensitivity to detect N2-disease. Secondary endpoints were the prevalence of N2-disease, negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of VAM(LA).

      Result:
      Figure 1 Out of 105 patients with cN1 on imaging, 26% eventually had N2-disease. Invasive mediastinal staging with VAM(LA) reached sensitivity of 73% to detect N2-disease. The median number of assessed lymph node stations during VAM(LA) was 4. In 96% ≥3 stations were assessed. VAMLA was performed in 31%, 69% underwent VAM.

      Conclusion:
      VAM(LA) has a satisfactory sensitivity of 73% to detect mediastinal nodal disease in cN1-NSCLC and could be the technique of choice for pre-resection mediastinal lymph node assessment in this patient group with 26% chance of occult positive mediastinal nodes after negative PET-CT.
