One fourth of lung cancer patients are never smokers, consisting of 53% of women with lung cancer and 15% of men; the majority of these are adenocarcinomas. Estrogens interact with two types of receptors, ERα and ERβ, and may play a role in the development of lung cancer.

In this video, the authors demonstrate their first robotic left pneumonectomy for a pT2N1 neoplasm.

A large retrospective study comparing 117618 patients from the National Cancer Database with Stage I NSCLC. 111731 received surgery, 5887 received SBRT. In a propensity managed comparison, those undergoing surgery had increased overall survival.

Outcomes of the California Cancer Registry for patients undergoing resection for Stage I NSCLC were evaluated according to Commission on Cancer (CoC) accreditation status and lung resection procedure volume. High volume hospitals (>50 annually) had better survival compared to medium (20-50 annually; HR 1.23) and low volume (<20 annually; 1.77)

This randomized trial compared induction therapy for pathologically-proven N2/IIIA NSCLC with 3 cycles of cisplatinum and docetaxel chemotherapy alone to chemotherapy combined with 44 Gy of radiation therapy. 232 pts in 23 centers were enrolled over a 12 year period. No differences were identified in the chemotherapy vs chemoradiotherapy groups for

Investigators from Stanford developed a nine-gene expression predictor for survival outcome in early-stage nonsquamous NSCLC. They developed and validated a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay easily applicable to routinely obtained paraffin-embedded tumor specimens.

This single institution retrospective study evaluated the relationship of adenocarcinoma subtype to long-term survival after resection of stage I lung cancer. Patients with solid-predominant tumors experienced recurrences earlier, more often in distant sites, and more often in multiple locations. This subtype was also independently associated with
