Diagnostic performances of PET/CT, EBUS-TBNA, and the combination of EBUS-TBNA and EUS-FNA-B/E for the detection of mediastinal metastasis on a per person basis.

Data are presented as n (%).* p-values from the comparisons of PET-CT and EBUS+EUS-FNA-B/E.** p-values from the comparisons of EBUS-TBNA and EBUS+EUS-FNA-B/E.PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value; PET-CT: positron-emission tomography with computed tomography; EBUS-TBNA: endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration; EUS-FNA-B/E: transesophageal bronchoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration; NA: not applicable.
