Multidisciplinary Treatment for Stage IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Does Institution Type Matter?
November 16, 2015
The relationship to institution type and survival after multimodality therapy for IIIA NSCLC was investigated using the NCDB (National Cancer Database). Academic medical centers had a higher incidence of induction therapy, lower postoperative mortality, and improved overall survival.

This video demonstrates a thoracoscopic uniportal en bloc resection performed on a 65-year-old female patient.

This video demonstrates a right upper microlobectomy and its differences from traditional VATS lobectomy.

One fourth of lung cancer patients are never smokers, consisting of 53% of women with lung cancer and 15% of men; the majority of these are adenocarcinomas. Estrogens interact with two types of receptors, ERα and ERβ, and may play a role in the development of lung cancer.

In this video, the authors demonstrate their first robotic left pneumonectomy for a pT2N1 neoplasm.

A large retrospective study comparing 117618 patients from the National Cancer Database with Stage I NSCLC. 111731 received surgery, 5887 received SBRT. In a propensity managed comparison, those undergoing surgery had increased overall survival.
September 16, 2015
Outcomes of the California Cancer Registry for patients undergoing resection for Stage I NSCLC were evaluated according to Commission on Cancer (CoC) accreditation status and lung resection procedure volume. High volume hospitals (>50 annually) had better survival compared to medium (20-50 annually; HR 1.23) and low volume (<20 annually; 1.77)
