About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the diagnosis of mediastinal and gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions.
The study also aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography in differentiating benign from malignant mediastinal and gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age: Adults ≥ 12 years.
Clinical indication: Patients referred for diagnostic EUS of a 1_mediastinal mass or mediastinal lymphadenopathy detected on prior imaging (CT/MRI) .
Lesion accessibility: Lesion judged by the endosonographer to be accessible to EUS imaging and elastography and amenable to EUS-guided sampling
Disqualifiers
• patient Refusal or inability to provide informed consent
Uncorrectable coagulation disorder
Presence of contraindicating endoscopy/sedation
Lesion inaccessible to EUS or elastography (e.g., too far from the esophagus/airway to obtain reliable elastography or visualization) as judged by the performing endosonographer.
