This Society of Thoracic Surgeons Expert Consensus Documents provides updated, multidisciplinary guidance on the multimodal management of pleural mesothelioma (PM). The expert panel emphasizes that surgical resection should only be...
In this video, the authors present the case of a 65-year-old female diagnosed with a central squamous cell carcinoma of the left upper lobe with nodal involvement in stations 5...
This study evaluated the impact of the interval between diagnosis and surgery on mortality in patients with early-stage non-small cell lunger cancer (NSCLC). The results indicated that surgeries performed more...
This study investigates the prognostic impact of tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) in early-stage synchronous multiple primary lung adenocarcinoma (sMPLA) and its interaction with surgical strategies. Among 131 patients...
This study evaluated the effect of perioperative invasive nodal staging on nodal upstaging in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing resection. Out of 2,576 patients, only 18.7 percent...
This study evaluated the SHURUI single-port (SP) robotic system for uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) in lung cancer patients. Unlike conventional multi-incision systems, the SHURUI SP utilizes a single, highly...
This article discusses a promising diagnostic approach aimed at improving patient selection for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The current reliance on PD-L1...
This article reviews recent efforts to evaluate the use of osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in the neoadjuvant setting for patients with resectable EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung...
This retrospective analysis compared three-port and four-port robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)(n=121, 2020–2021). Demographics, tumor characteristics, complications, and lymph node yields were similar between...
