Surgery for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Surgery remains the best curative option in patients with early stage lung cancer (stage I and II). Developments in minimally invasive techniques now allow surgeons to perform lung resections on elderly patients, patients with poor pulmonary function or significant cardiopulmonary comorbidities. New techniques, such as stereotactic radiotherapy and ablative procedures, are being evaluated in ea...
متن کاملSurgery for nonsmall cell lung cancer: can improvements be made?
Low-dose spiral computed tomography (CT) for the earlier detection of lung cancer is at the stage of producing hypothesis-generating studies. These studies have shown that more cancers are found at a favourable stage (IA) in prevalence screening but that the fewer numbers found in incidence screening tend to have a slightly worse stage. Randomised controlled trials will be necessary to resolve ...
متن کاملThyroid Metastasis from Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer

متن کاملRelevance of an extensive follow-up after surgery for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
There are no international guidelines for an appropriate and cost-effective follow-up for resected nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of NSCLC patients after curative surgery. Follow-up included physical examination and chest radiography every 3 months, and chest computed tomography (CT) scan, bronchoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, brain CT scan and bone sca...
متن کاملEffectiveness of maintenance treatments for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Maintenance therapy for advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer has shown some clinical benefit for patients by improving progression-free survival and, to a lesser extent, overall survival. Two main strategies exist for maintenance therapy, ie, continuation and switch maintenance. Continuation maintenance involves the continued use of one of the induction drugs beyond 4-6 cycles of initial treatmen...
