The lungs take up most of the space in the chest cavity, which extends from the collarbones to the diaphragm (see Figure 2). The organs of the chest are protected by the ribs. The area between the lungs in the middle of the chest is called the mediastinum. It contains the heart, windpipe (trachea), food pipe (esophagus), blood vessels, and many lymph nodes. Examination of the lymph nodes in the mediastinum is an important part of the lung cancer staging process and is discussed in Chapter 4: Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Staging.
