The value of invasive staging of the mediastinum is its greater accuracy in assessing the operability of lung cancer compared to noninvasive techniques. In expert hands, invasive mediastinal exploration results in little morbidity or mortality. For these reasons, we continue to use mediastinoscopy routinely in evaluating the mediastinum prior to advising thoracotomy for resection in the management of lung cancer.
与非侵入性技术相比，纵隔侵入性分期的价值在于其在评估肺癌可切除性方面具有更高的准确性。在专家手中，侵入性纵隔探查导致的发病率和死亡率较低。基于这些原因，在建议对肺癌患者进行开胸切除术前，我们仍常规使用纵隔镜检查来评估纵隔情况。
