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.

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

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.

This video demonstrates a uniportal VATS anatomical resection of the anterior segment of the left upper lobe for a lung nodule.
April 9, 2018
The authors present a video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of a left lower lobe multifocal lung cancer, followed by a discussion of the management of multifocal lung cancer.

This video shows a totally thoracoscopic right basilar segmentectomy for a carcinoid tumor, with manual suturing of the bronchus.

Surgery for cancer is known to suppress immune response and facilitate the development of metastases. In this study in mice, a scaffold designed to release agonists of innate immunity over time was placed in the bed of resected tumors. The treatment reduced local recurrence and improved survival.
