False-negative results of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in non-small-cell lung cancer staging were identified in 14% of 165 patients. Prevalence of false-negative results was low, when three satisfactory samples from mediastinal stations could be obtained and rose, when fewer adequate samples were available.

The authors retrospectively reviewed their institutional database to assess outcomes for VATS lobectomy vs SBRT for stage I NSCLC, comparing propensity score-matched groups (41 pairs). Survival, cancer-specific survival, local recurrence, and distant recurrence were significantly better in the surgical group.

This Netherlands population-based study followed causes of death in patients with NSCLC diagnosed 1989-2008, including more than 72,000 patients. For those with localized disease, lung cancer was the cause of death in 80-85% for years 0-3, 60-75% for years 4-6, and remained the cause of death for more than 30% thereafter. After 6 years CAD and COPD

The authors describe results of initial bronchoscopy therapy (IBT) for endobronchial carcinoids aimed at relieving obstruction, accurate subtyping, and potentially complete eradication. After a minimum follow-up of 5 years, 42% of patients were spared surgical therapy, having had no evidence of local or distant recurrence (42/83 with typical histolo
