The investigators' hypothesis is that EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) or EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspirate) as a first test after CT scan in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer will result in a reduction in the time from first outpatient appointment to treatment decision, a reduction in the total number of scans and investigative operations, fewer outpatient attendances and a reduction in healthcare costs."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Consecutive patients suspected of lung cancer on CT scan\n* Written informed consent\n* Able to tolerate bronchoscopy and thoracic surgery\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease that makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial\n* Any disorder making reliable informed consent impossible\n* Patients with extra-thoracic disease, supraclavicular lymphadenopathy or pleural effusion'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00652769', 'acronym': 'BOOST', 'briefTitle': 'A New Pathway With BronchOscopic or Oesophageal Ultrasound for Lung Cancer Diagnosis and STaging (BOOST)', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University College London Hospitals'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Randomized Controlled Trial of Endobronchial or Endoscopic Ultrasound as a First Test in the Diagnosis and Staging of Lung Cancer', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '07/0156'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'B', 'description': 'Control arm: Current practice for diagnosing and staging lung cancer.
