PRESENTATION TITLE
Suspected lung cancer • Tissue procurement goals
• Benign vs malignant • Primary lung cancer versus secondary lung cancer • Histologic subtype • Confirm suspected metastatic disease (staging) • Molecular testing
• Ideally, achieve the above in the least number of procedures possible
• So… in the ideal setting, we are obtaining all necessary information while minimizing procedural related risks to the patient
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
Biopsy target • Target selection based on multiple factors,
tailored to the patient • Maximize information, minimize the number of
procedures, and minimize potential harm to the patient
• Factors taken into consideration • History and physical exam, laboratory findings
• What type of procedure can the patient tolerate? • Chest CT, possible PET or other imaging studies (if done…)
• Goal: Determine the clinical stage
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
“Primum non nocere” First, do no harm
PRESENTATION TITLE
Biopsy target • Suspected distant metastatic disease à stage IV
• In this setting, the metastatic lesion is often sampled • Ease of targeting, less patient risk • Patient is not a surgical candidate
So…EBUS procedures are likely not used much in this setting
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
7th Ed M1a: Separate tumor nodule(s) in a contralateral lobe tumor with pleural nodules or malignant pleural (or pericardial) effusion M1b: Distant metastasis
7th Ed 8th Ed 7th 8th
PRESENTATION TITLE
Biopsy target • Suspected stage IA (T1aN0M0 or T1bN0M0), peripheral lesion
• No suspected nodal/distant metastasis • These patients are considered surgical candidates • Surgical resection of the lung lesion with lymph node sampling
• Nodes: peribronchial/hilar
No nodal involvement à no need for further therapy (Stage 1A)
If there is nodal involvement (stage II, N1 disease) à adjuvant chemotherapy
So…EBUS procedures may potentially be used to look for nodal disease
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
Biopsy target • Suspected Nodal involvement
• Specifically, suspected stage IIIA/B: N2 and N3 disease • N2: ipsilateral, mediastinal node or subcarinal node • N3: contralateral mediastinal, contralateral hilar, ipsilateral or contralateral scalene,
supraclavicular • Biopsy target: often the lymph node
• Confirms presence of disease • The distinction between Stage IIIA (N2 disease) and IIIB (N3) disease is
important • IIIA: may be eligible for chemo followed by surgery • IIIB: Not surgical candidates
• As such, may want to target more than one node if clinically suspicious
EBUS procedures are often requested

Historical Overview
• 1949: Transbronchial needle aspiration described - rigid bronchoscope (Schieppati)
• 1983: TBNA used through a flexible bronchoscope (Wang and colleagues)
• Used to stage lung cancer • 1992: ultrasound applied to bronchoscopy
• 1999: EBUS bronchoscope became commercially available
• Improvements and advances made since
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) fine needle aspiration (FNA) and biopsy • Combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound, FNA or biopsy can be
obtained • Indications
• Staging or re-staging non-small cell lung carcinoma • Sampling lymph node/s
• Obtaining tissue for diagnosis on large central lung tumors • Workup of lymphadenopathy
• Diagnosis or “ruling out” sarcoidosis, lymphoma, or metastatic disease (non-lung)
• Sampling mediastinal masses • Usually superior and anterior mediastinal tumors
• Before EBUS: cervical mediastinoscopy used to stage

PRESENTATION TITLE
EBUS FNA: Advantages • Ability to sample lung and mediastinal lesions
• Less invasive than mediastinoscopy/surgery • More cost effective than surgical mediastinoscopy
• Generally safe, complications are relatively uncommon • Agitation, cough, blood • Some probes used for peripheral nodules, bleeding/pneumothorax • Infection/fistula formation is rare
• Good Sensitivity and Specificity!

PRESENTATION TITLE
EBUS FNA: Challenges
• Limited or no diagnostic material obtained • May require a second staging procedure (mediastinoscopy)
• Requires an endoscopist with expertise • Proper training programs are a necessity! • No current method in place to assess competency/technical skills
• Some targets cannot be assessed due to anatomic location • Combined EUS and EBUS are sometimes used, “medical
mediastinoscopy” • Complementary procedures with better sensitivity
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
EBUS FNA and rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) Advantages • “Real time” evaluation of procured material
• Evaluates if lesion tissue is being sampled and allows the physician performing the FNA to make additional passes if needed
• Improves accuracy of staging • Fewer passes, superior adequacy rates
• Improved patient care, less repeat procedures • The performance of FNA is dependent on specimen adequacy and sampling
• Up to one-third are nondiagnostic when ROSE is not utilized
• This is dependent on the experience level of the endoscopist • Some studies suggest ROSE does not make a difference in diagnostic yield
• Task force guidelines have suggested • ROSE is only effective in reducing additional procedures • No statistically significant differences in # of aspirations, diagnostic yield, time, or
complications • One expert panel recommended tissue sampling with or without ROSE in patients
undergoing EBUS-TBNA for diagnostic evaluation of lung cancer (Grade 1C)
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
EBUS FNA and rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) Advantages
• Allows preliminary information to be relayed
• Specimen triage for ancillary studies
• Flow cytometry, Microbiology studies, Molecular testing, Cell block preparations
• Potential to give guidance on how to improve yield/technique • More on this…
• Sampling can be stopped when diagnostic material is obtained • Opposed to doing a set number of passes
• Builds relationship between pathologist and endoscopist: better patient care

PRESENTATION TITLE
ROSE: Potential to give guidance on how to improve yield/technique
• The performing physician has to be receptive… • FNA technique
• “aspiration” biopsy is a misnomer! • Needle into lesion
• Visualized via ultrasound (convex probe) • Distal end grooved: more hyperechoic on US
• Stylet moved “in and out to dislodge bronchial wall contaminant • Stylet removed • Generate vacuum (pull back on syringe) • Make excursions! • 2-3 per second, long amplitude
• Negative pressure without proper needle movement is insufficient for tissue collection, needle movement “cuts the tissue”, negative pressure assists tissue into needle
• Limit dwell time 5-10 seconds maximum, shorter (2-5 seconds) for nodes/vascular lesions • Release vacuum • Now pull needle out of lesion

EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
“ the needle is in the lesion….” but that does not mean the lesion is inside the needle
• Technique issues • Bronchial wall material pushed into
the target and then taken up by the needle when excursions are made
• Repeat FNA • Move stylet “back and forth”
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
Challenges of ROSE • Need a pathologist experienced with ROSE • Time consuming • Average amount of time per site sampled: 12-22 minutes
• Often more than one site sampled • We found the average pathologist adequacy assessment time was ~38 min
• Range 2-142 min
• Current Medicare compensation rates are insufficient to cover Pathology costs (adequacy assessment CPT code 88172)
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
Challenges of ROSE
• One study suggests training interventional pulmonologists or using cytotechnologists for ROSE
• Over 90% concordance with cytopathologist
• Caution: this would really be an adequacy assessment only • Limited literature on this
• Telecytology can be used
EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
PRESENTATION TITLE
Challenges of ROSE
• Although pathology costs exceed reimbursement, the overall cost of EBUS is far less than mediastinoscopy
• However (and more important than cost) ROSE has value
• Improves procedural outcomes • Reduces the need for repeat procedures

EBUS FNA: benefits and challenges
Advantages: • Adequacy assessment • Specimen Triage • Reduces need for additional procedures • Improves diagnostic yield • Builds relationship between pathologist
and endoscopist • Overall: improved patient care
Disadvantages: • Requires experienced pathologist • Time and cost

Molecular testing • ~80% of lung cancers diagnosed at advanced stage, a portion
diagnosed by cytology or small biopsy • Material obtained from EBUS procedures may be (and often is) the only material
available for molecular testing • Molecular testing dependent on multiple factors
• Overall cellularity and tumor fraction • Analytic sensitivity of the molecular testing platform
• Material suitable for molecular testing in >90% of samples
