title: A review of noninvasive staging of the mediastinum for non-small cell lung carcinoma.
abstract: Lung cancer and bronchogenic carcinoma are malignancies originating from the airways and pulmonary parenchyma. Most (approximately 90%) lung cancers are classified as non-small cell lung cancer. This distinction carries important differences for staging, treatment, and prognosis. This article presents a review of mediastinal staging for patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
