Both a mediastinoscopy and a thoracoscopy use an instrument (endoscope) to examine a body cavity. A mediastinoscopy uses a fiber-optic tube with a camera inserted into the mediastinum via the suprasternal notch to locate appropriate areas for biopsy if the cancer has spread to mediastinal lymph nodes. A thoracoscopy is an examination of the pleural cavity with an endoscope.
