With the recent publication of two large, multicenter, randomized trials showing equivalent or even improved survival for segmental versus lobar resection of small (≤2 cm) stage I non-small cell lung cancer (1,2), there is greater onus among thoracic surgeons to be able to perform anatomic segmentectomy.

This is a video of the very first lobectomy performed with the Versius system on the American continent.
Minimum Volume Standards for Surgical Care of Early-Stage Lung Cancer: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
December 21, 2022
This study aimed to determine the cost-effectiveness of receiving surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer at hospitals that perform at least forty lung resections annually.
December 19, 2022
This video demonstrates how video assisted thoracoscopy surgery can be utilized for successful lung detorsion in symptomatic individuals.
December 12, 2022
This video presents technical aspects of an outside the thoracic cage (OTC) robotic right upper lobectomy (RUL) through a subcostal approach, avoiding intercostal instrumentation and therefore the potential damage to the intercostal bundle.

Researchers have been awarded a grant to fund cancer vaccine research, including the development of an mRNA vaccine that would target precancerous lung lesions.
December 9, 2022
This study aimed to measure the population-level impact of federal lung cancer screening recommendations and Medicare coverage. After these decisions were implemented, and when adjusted for age, researchers found that they were associated with an increased incidence of early-stage lung cancer and decreased incidence of advanced-stage lung cancer.
