  In our Chinese cohort of 27 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients with mediastinal nodal involvement who underwent EBUS-TBNA, we showed no role of SUV from PET-CT scans in determining EGFR mutation status. Nonetheless, we showed that patients with high SUV (>9.6) as well as number of passes could predict inadequacy of cellular material in obtaining EGFR mutation status in EBUS-TBNA. .. Read More»
