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 study analyzed 94 patients who received neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy followed by either PN, ESL, or SSL.

This randomized crossover trial evaluated whether combining needle aspiration and forceps biopsy improves diagnostic yield compared to using a single device alone during electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) for peripheral pulmonary lesions. A total of 142 participants underwent both biopsy methods sequentially under moderate sedation.

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 percent were found to have STAS-positive NSCLC.

This editorial summarizes the landscape that led to the founding of the Thoracic Surgical Oncology Group in 2017, in an era when, due to various oncology group reorganizations, a need developed for a focused committee to conduct thoracic surgery oncology-based clinical trials. The group has expanded over the years to include 32 hospitals.
