Review[The role of TBNA in diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases].
In the last 30 years, clinical application oftransbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) has proved its efficiency, accuracy, safety and cost-effectiveness, particularly in diagnosing and staging lung cancer as well as in diagnosing benign diseases. The application of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) increased the accuracy of TBNA. ⋯ Combination of EUBS-TBNA and traditional methods (CT, PET, mediastinoscopy, et al) can improve the diagnostic rate and negative predictive value. In the future, EUBS-TBNA may have applications in both benign and malignant lung diseases as a routine examination.

[Initial experience on endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer].
It has been proven that endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) was a new minimally invasive method in the diagnosis for mediastinal lymph nodes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic and staging yield of EBUS-TBNA for lung cancer. ⋯ EBUS-TBNA proved to be a safe procedure with a high yield for the diagnosis of lung cancer.

[Estimation and projection of lung cancer incidence and mortality in China].
The aim of this study is to analyze lung cancer epidemiological trend and estimate lung cancer burden in China. ⋯ Lung cancer is one of major health issues in China and the burden is getting serious. Ageing population is main cause for increasing incidence and mortality of lung cancer. Effective cancer prevention and control is imperative. Especially, tobacco control should be carried out in statewide.
