ADVANCED BRONCHOSCOPIC TECHNOLOGY FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE LUNG CANCER STAGING (EBUS)
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscopy is a minimally-invasive outpa-tient procedure using an innovative ultrasonic airway bronchoscope to detect lung cancer spread to lymph nodes for accurate lung cancer staging. Using state-of-the-art technology, EBUS offers more accurate diagnosis and staging in the lung than more conventional bronchoscopy (thin tube-like instrument with camera to examine inside of the trachea and bronchi located in the lungs) because it has imaging capabilities for structures external to the airways for accurate positioning of a biopsy needle into lymph nodes.

ADVANCED ENDOSCOPIC TECHNOLOGY FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE ESOPHAGEAL AND LUNG CANCER STAGING (EUS)
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally-invasive outpatient procedure used to stage esophageal cancer by determining tumor thickness and evaluat-ing if any cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the chest and abdomen. EUS offers more accurate diagnosis and staging capabilities than more standard techniques because it can image structures in and around the esophagus for accurate positioning of a biopsy needle into lymph nodes. This technique can also be used in conjunction with EBUS for lung cancer staging.CYBERKNIFEPatients who require radiotherapy for management of their tumors are offered conventional and image guided techniques. Our cyberknife radiotherapy program at Overlook Hospital was the first in the New York area and is offered to non-surgical candidates selectively. Brachytherapy is also available for patients with central, obstructing lesions.
