What does clear lung apices means?

This term is often used to indicate that there are no signs of lung disease, infection, or other abnormalities in the apex regions of the lungs. It suggests that the lung tissue in these areas appears normal and healthy.
The deadliest of lung disease where abnormal growth of cells prevents normal lung function?
Lung cancer is the deadliest of lung diseases, characterized by abnormal growth of cells in the lungs that hinders normal lung function. It can spread rapidly to other parts of the body if not detected and treated early.
What abnormal results can be detected by a mediastinoscopy?
Abnormal findings may indicate lung cancer, tuberculosis, the spread of disease from one body part to another, sarcoidosis, lymphoma (abnormalities in the lymph tissues), and Hodgkin's disease.
