Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The proportion of patients with a successful EUS-B-FNA procedure for LAG
analysis.
Secondary outcome
Sensitivity EUS-B-FNA and EUS-FNA for LAG metastases.
Background summary
The adrenal glands are a predilection site for lung cancer metastases. However,
even in a patient with a known malignancy an adrenal lesion is still more
likely to be benign than to be malignant. Normally the conventional EUS scope
is used for left adrenal gland analysis.
The aim of this study is investigate the sensitivity EUS-B-FNA (EBUS scope) for
left adrenal metastases in lung cancer patients with a suspect left adrenal
gland based on imaging.
Study objective
The proportion of patients with a successful EUS-B-FNA procedure for LAG
analysis
Study design
A prospective cohort design
Study burden and risks
Distant metastases like LAG metastases have significant impact on prognosis and
treatment. In the majority of patients, evaluation of the mediastinal nodes
with the EBUS scope is also indicated. In case the LAG can be evaluated with
the same scope, patients can be evaluated with a single instead of two scopes.
This will be beneficial for patients (reduced investigation time) and cost *
effective. So far EUS-B of LAG has been shown to be safe and feasible.
