Authors' recommendations:
Study finds that endosonography (followed by surgical staging if negative) is more sensitive than surgical staging alone in the diagnostic staging of patients with potentially operative non-small cell lung cancer, and that the endosonography strategy is slightly more effective and less expensive.
