This video demonstrates a robotic-assisted left upper lobectomy for lung cancer in a patient with hilar node metastasis.

Stiles and colleagues retrospectively analyzed prospectively-collected data on approximately 3,200 surgical lung cancer patients, finding that more than one fifth of these patients are never-smokers. Compared to patients with a history of smoking, never-smokers were more likely to be younger, female, and to suffer from adenocarcinoma.

This video illustrates a four-arm robotic XI video-assisted left pneumonectomy for a large centrally-based carcinoid tumor.

Patient Care The Chinese Red Cross has announced that 25 Afghan children with congenital heart disease will receive free medical treatment in China.

This video reviews the technical details of a robotic left upper lobe posterior segmentectomy, using indocyanine green and navigational bronchoscopy.
April 18, 2018
The authors present the minimally invasive management of a proximal left lower lobe carcinoid with endobronchial extension.
April 13, 2018
The authors demonstrate that mediastinoscopy at the time of either open or VATS lobectomy is independently associated with an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (OR 1.46 and 1.53, respectively).
April 13, 2018
The authors found that adjuvent chemoradiotherapy after resection of N2 NSCLC was more effective if given sequentially than concomitantly.
April 13, 2018
How to manage solitary pulmonary nodules appearing after treatment of a prior malignancy remains a clinical challenge.  The authors found that such patients most often had intrapulmonary metastases and less often had new lung cancers.  Factors associated with new lung cancers included spiculated nodules, absence of nodal involvement with prior cancer
April 13, 2018
The authors studied patients after resection of stage I non-small cell lung cancer.  They found that nearly one-third had decreased muscle one year postoperatively, which was associated with poor performance status and decreased overall and cancer-specific survival.
