Mediastinoscopy

Mediastinoscopy

During this procedure, a tube is passed through a small incision at the base of the neck while the patient is under anesthesia. This allows doctors to take a biopsy of the lymph nodes in the chest. A surgeon can then define the tumor stage and determine whether surgery is an option.
