Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT is being introduced in several European countries. The management of incidental findings, both pulmonary and extrapulmonary, is an important component of the clinical and...
Thornblade and colleagues endeavored to develop and validate a model that would predict the 2-year risk of recurrence in patients with completely resected node-negative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Improved...
Using the National Cancer Database, the effect of the timing of computed tomography (CT) surveillance after resection of non-small cell lung cancer on survival was investigated. Survival was similar for...
A seismic shift occurred today when the NELSON screening trial results were presented at the IASLC 19th World Conference on Lung Cancer (#WCLC2018). Hear from the CEO, Dr. Fred R....
This comprises the eagerly anticipated summary of the second primary endpoint of the PACIFIC trial of Durvalumab vs placebo in patients who completed CT/RT without progression for unresectable stage III...
Patient Care and General Interest 3D personalized simulations of patient hearts reportedly allow physicians to better locate and treat arrhythmias. A six-year-old girl became the first patient to receive congenital...
This provocative editorial outlines concepts that thoracic surgeons should understand in the era of immunotherapy for potentially resectable N2 disease.
...Patient Care and General Interest A woman developed a combination planner, record-keeping notebook, and journal to help her husband through his treatment for esophageal cancer, and other patients now use...
This retrospective study of 328 patients undergoing resection for non-small cell lung cancer demonstrated that sarcopenia determined by psoas muscle mass on computed tomography was associated with increased postoperative complications...
