Mediastinoscopy: Tissue Biopsy for Disease Detection

The provider inserts a thin rigid or flexible instrument through a small incision in the neck or upper chest to look inside the mediastinum, the central part of the chest cavity between and in front of the lungs. The procedure includes excision of one or more samples of any abnormal–looking tissue mass for analysis to determine the presence of cancer or other disease, when performed.
