%X Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality among those with cancer, and its diagnosis is of paramount importance (1). Endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspirate (EBUS-TBNA) is a procedure commonly performed with minimal complications and is recommended by major societies as an initial modality for staging patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (2-5).
