Extended sleeve lobectomy (ESL) is considered a lung-sparing alternative to pneumonectomy (PN) for centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when standard sleeve lobectomy (SSL) is not feasible. This retrospective...
The recent CheckMate 816 trial indicated that neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy provided limited local control in stage II–III resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This trial evaluated the hypothesis that incorporating radiotherapy...
This article presents a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of lung cancer, focusing on subtype-specific patterns worldwide. Using data from GLOBOCAN 2022 and other international cancer registries, the study estimated more than...
This study investigates the impact of tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) on surgical outcomes for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In a retrospective analysis of 785 patients, 19.2...
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, and low-dose computed tomography screening can reduce mortality for high-risk individuals. In 2021, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) expanded...
This murine model study investigated a novel combination treatment for pleural mesothelioma using intracavitary cisplatin-fibrin gel (cis-fib) and adjuvant irradiation (IR). Conducted on an orthotopic immunocompetent rat model, the study...
