    Abstract Background: Image-guided bronchoscopy techniques have emerged as a means of improving pulmonary nodule biopsy yield. However comparisons of the diagnostic efficacy of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) and virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) have not reached a consensus. This meta-analysis evaluates the overall diagnostic yield and accuracy of ENB and VBN for pulmonary nodules.
    Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify relevant articles. Meta-analysis was used to summarize the sensitivities, specificities, and area under the curve for ENB and VBN.
    Results: Thirty-two studies (1981 patients with pulmonary nodules) were included in this analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (95% confidence interval) of ENB were 0.80 (0.73-0.85), 0.81 (0.71-0.88), and 0.87 (0.84-0.90), respectively. Corresponding VBN values were 0.80 (0.76-0.83), 0.65 (0.56-0.73), and 0.81 (0.78-0.85), respectively. Comparison of the 2 techniques revealed that ENB had higher specificity and area under the curve but no difference in sensitivity.
    Conclusions: Both ENB and VBN are valuable tools in the diagnosis of lung nodules. ENB achieved a higher specificity than VBN in the diagnose of lung nodules, whereas ENB performed better than VBN for pulmonary nodules. These results are due to the real-time positioning function of ENB.

    Abstract The delivery of a modern cancer service is dependent on the nurse specialist occupying a central role in the overall pathway. However, there are significant variations in the access to a lung cancer clinical nurse specialist (CNS) across the UK and the USA. In the UK, the lung cancer CNS plays a pivotal role in the delivery of high-quality care and treatment to patients with (presumed) thoracic malignancy. They are in an ideal position to provide holistic care to patients with lung cancer-ensuring that all needs are addressed from the time of initial referral to commencement of definitive treatment or palliative care. In addition the role provides support and advice to people on the increasingly complex treatment options and on survivorship, and plays an essential role in end-of-life care. In the USA, the nurse navigator is a core member of the lung cancer screening programme. In this review the authors provide a transatlantic perspective on the history, current practice and potential future roles for the lung cancer CNS in the UK and nurse navigator in the US.

    Abstract Background: The annual incidence of a small indeterminate pulmonary nodule (IPN) on computed tomography (CT) scan remains high. While traditional paradigms exist, the integration of new technologies into these diagnostic and treatment algorithms can result in alternative, potentially more efficient methods of managing these findings.
    Methods: We report on an alternative diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for the management of an IPN. This approach combines electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB) with an updated approach to placement of a pleural dye marker. This technique lends itself to a minimally invasive wedge resection via either video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or a robotic approach.
    Results: Subsequent to alterations in the procedure, a cohort of 22 patients with an IPN was reviewed. Navigation was possible in 21 out of 22 patients with one patient excluded based on airway anatomy. The remaining 21 patients underwent ENB with pleural dye marking followed by minimally invasive wedge resection. The median size of the nodules was 13.4 mm (range: 7-29). There were no complications from the ENB procedure. Indigo carmine dye was used in ten patients. Methylene blue was used in the remaining 11 patients. In 81% of cases, the visceral pleural marker was visible at the time of surgery. In one patient, there was diffuse staining of the parietal pleura. In three additional patients, no dye was identified within the hemithorax. In all cases where dye marker was present on the visceral pleural surface, it was in proximity to the IPN and part of the excised specimen.
    Conclusions: ENB with pleural dye marking can provide a safe and effective method to localize an IPN and can allow for subsequent minimally invasive resection. Depending on the characteristics and location of the nodule, this method may allow more rapid identification intraoperatively.
