The authors of this paper note that the surgical landscape has changed in the last two years. They suggest that the multidisciplinary team should avoid a diagnostic wedge resection if segmentectomy would be the definitive and recommended operation. In that case, advanced navigation techniques should be used for diagnosis.

Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT is being introduced in several European countries. The management of incidental findings, both pulmonary and extrapulmonary, is an important component of the clinical and cost effectiveness of screening programs. A multi-society European group was convened to discuss the issue.

This paper looks to explore the outcomes in obese patients with non-small cell lung cancer following VATS or open lobectomy. The authors utilized data from the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database to assess morbidity and postoperative length of stay in 78,018 patients across a fourteen-year period.

This paper looked at the immunotherapy agent Durvalumab used in the perioperative period for resectable NSCLC. A total of 802 patients were enrolled in the study, of which 400 received Durvalumab and the remaining 402 a placebo. The two primary endpoints measured were event-free survival and pathological complete resection.
