Multimodality treatment (N2 disease) • Role of surgical multimodality is still investigational • Role in potentially resectable N2 NSCLC • Important prognostic factors • Tumour clearance of mediastinal LNs (mediastinal downstaging) • Pathologic response of the primary tumour
Unresectable N2 disease Multilevel extracapsular disease

PET – Mediastinal staging 44 trials; 2865 patients Prevalence mediastinal nodes 29 % (5-64 %) Sensitivity 74 % (69-79 %) Specificity 85 % (82-88 %) ACCP, Chest 2007, 132: 178S-201S
Reassessment of N-status : CT and PET scan POST CHEMOTHERAPY PET : NO DISEASE CT : N2 DISEASE
Reassessment N-status : CT and PET • CT scan • Moderate accuracy for LN evaluation • Poor correlation with outcome • PET scan • Better than CT, but lower accuracy than baseline LN evaluation • Better than CT in correlation with outcome
Mediastinal Restaging • Precise restaging after induction chemo or chemoradiotherapy is of great importance to determine subsequent treatment and prognosis. • Restaging methods: • Non invasive: CT, MRI, PET and PET-CT. • Invasive: reMS, VATS and TEMLA. • Minimally invasive: TBNA, EBUS and EUS.

Provide access to different areas of the mediastinum. In combination most mediastinal LNs can be sampled • In four series the accuracy of EUS-FNA and EBUS-TBNA in combination for the diagnosis of mediastinal cancer was 95% Herth et al., AJRCCM, 2005; Rintoul et al., Eur Respir J, 2005; Vilman et al., Endoscopy, 2006; Walace et al., JAMA 2008
Endoscopic restaging : Pro´s • outpatient procedure • no complications, no morbidity • value increased compared to imaging • value equivalent to invasive procedures
Endoscopic restaging : Con´s • availability • reimbursement • limited number of trials • no comparison trials • strongly dependent on cytopathologist

neoadjuvant chemotherapy still under discussion • Reassessment of N- factor is important • PET-CT is superior to PET for restaging after induction Tx • However, in positive cases tissue confirmation is required • After induction endoscopic techniques are feasible • New staging algorithm. • Baseline PET-CT and EBUS or EUS-FNA • Restaging with PET-CT and EBUS or EUS-FNA, if necessary mediastinoscopy
