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...
This article provides a consensus-based approach for determining the resectability and optimal management strategies for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The expert panel recommends evaluating resectability through multidisciplinary...
This article assesses the outcomes of segmentectomy versus lobectomy in treating peripheral, early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. In a multicenter study involving 674 patients, the authors compared overall survival (OS), lung cancer-specific...
Recently, the CALGB 140503 trial and the JCOG0802/WJOG4607L showed the non-inferiority of sublobar resections compared to lobectomy for 3). Both the five-year overall and disease-free survival rates were worse after...
This article explores the disparities in access to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on socioeconomic status. After analyzing data from the National...
This article evaluates the effectiveness of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (IC+Chemo) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This large-scale study involved 1,092 patients from 11 medical centers and...
CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) has allowed for increased detection of small pulmonary nodules in lung cancer patients. However, it also poses a risk of iatrogenic damage. This single-center study...
This article examines how different follow-up frequencies affect outcomes in patients with lung cancer post-resection. The study analyzed 1,916 patients and compared low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) radiological surveillance. The...
As the understanding of the natural progression of smaller peripheral lung nodules grows, the treatment options and existing paradigms continue to change. One area that is under intense study involves...
