Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Biomarkers in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Riddle, Wrapped in a Mystery, Inside an Enigma The authors retrospectively compared the outcome of medically compromised ...

Background: Total tubeless (TT) single-port thoracoscopic wedge resection is a novel minimally invasive surgical technique for treating peripheral pulmonary nodules. This study aims to evaluate its ...

The operative modes for pulmonary parenchymal resection include pneumonectomy, bilobectomy, lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection, according to the volume of lung parenchyma to be resected.

Pulmonary resection is the first line of treatment of stage I and II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is also important as part of the management of stage IIIA. In early stages of NSCLC, the ...

Surgery may be underused in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC), suggest the investigators of a recent study. 1 But when to operate? And what is the optimal surgical approach?

Sublobar resection was on par with lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer tumors with a diameter of 2 cm or less, according to results presented at the recent World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC).

Preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization is commonly employed to facilitate video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)-guided diagnostic wedge resection of pulmonary nodules (PNs).

A retrospective study found that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was associated with postoperative pulmonary complications and longer length of stay (LOS) following lung cancer resection.

Filamentous fungal infections are increasing in hematology patients, 1 due in largely to the use of more aggressive chemotherapy regimens, with longer periods of severe neutropenia, and the ...
