Moreover, EUS assessment has proven more accurate in detecting small lesions missed by standard imaging examinations, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. We focus on its current uses in themediastinum, including lung and esophageal cancer staging, as well as evaluating mediastinal lymphadenopathy and submucosal lesions.
