Pathology of Mediastinal Tumors

  • Chapter
Lung Tumors

Part of the book series: UICC Current Treatment of Cancer ((1360))

Abstract

Precise localization of a mediastinal tumor often helps to narrow the differential diagnosis (Table 1, Fig. 1) and modern imaging techniques can provide much information regarding its likely nature. However, treatment and prognosis depend on an exact histological diagnosis and this is greatly facilitated by correct handling of adequate tissue samples.
