Mediastinal Cancer

Mediastinal Cancer

The mediastinum is a cavity that separates the lungs from the other structures in the chest. Generally, the mediastinum is further divided into 3 main parts: anterior, posterior, and middle. Cancers in the mediastinum can develop from structures anatomically located inside the mediastinum or that transverse through the mediastinum during development and also from metastases or malignancies originating elsewhere in the body. Definitive diagnosis of mediastinal cancer is typically made by mediastinoscopy with biopsy. This test is generally performed under general anesthesia and collects cells from the mediastinum to determine the type of mass present. The treatment for mediastinal cancers depends primarily on the type of cancer, its location, aggressiveness, and symptoms it may be causing. This activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance learners’ competence in selecting appropriate diagnostic tests, managing mediastinal cancers, and fostering effective interprofessional teamwork to improve outcomes.
