Clinical utility of EBUS‐TBNA of hilar, interlobar, and lobar lymph nodes in patients with primary lung cancer

Endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) is used to evaluate hilar/interlobar/lobar lymph nodes. This study aimed to assess the clinical utility of EBUS‐TBNA for station 10/11/12 lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with primary lung cancer.
