The authors examined the concordance of clinical and pathological staging using prospectively collected data from the Dutch Lung Surgery Audit, examining patients with clinical stage I disease. Among 1,555 patients, the concordance of cTNM and pTNM was 60%. 22.6% of patients were upstaged after resection, . The difference was more evident in patie

The authors assessed the relationship between second hand smoke exposure in non-smokers and mortality related to lung cancer using serum cotinine levels. Cotinine levels were associated with survival, death from lung cancer, and death from all cancers after adjustment. Such levels identify second hand smoke effects.

The authors tested the hypothesis that induction therapy improves survival in patients undergoing resection for clinical N1 disease using information from the National Cancer Data Base. 10% of over 5,000 pts were treated with induction therapy. They were 2:1 propensity matched with patients undergoing the traditional surgery first strategy. Among
