    AbstractEndobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a new diagnostic tool, which has expanded the view of the bronchoscopist beyond the confinements of the airways.

EBUS will become a superior tool for staging of lung cancer, and several comparative studies on EBUS as compared with standard techniques in order to assess its role in the staging procedure are just on their way or already completed.
