In pooled estimates, the addition of EUS-B-FNA to EBUS-TBNA increased the diagnostic yield for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. Nodal station 4L, station 5, and station 8 were lesions frequently diagnosed by the addition of EUS-B-FNA. Because of statistical between-study heterogeneity, our findings should be interpreted with caution.
