This video demonstrates a step-by-step video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for an intrapericardial left pneumonectomy due to a centrally located lung tumor, highlighting key technical tips.
June 26, 2025
This study evaluated the impact of the interval between diagnosis and surgery on mortality in patients with early-stage non-small cell lunger cancer (NSCLC).
June 26, 2025
This study investigates the prognostic impact of tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) in early-stage synchronous multiple primary lung adenocarcinoma (sMPLA) and its interaction with surgical strategies. Among 131 patients with cT1-3N0M0 sMPLA, STAS was detected in 52 percent, including 16 percent with STAS in both tumors (bi-STAS).
