TL;DR: A revision of the ESTS guidelines was needed because more evidence of the different mediastinal staging technique has become available and both endoscopic techniques and surgical procedures are available, but their negative predictive value is lower compared with the results obtained in baseline staging.

TL;DR: Intensive physical therapy appeared to increase oxygen saturation, reduce hospital stay, and change the ventilation/perfusion distribution of patients, and had a significant, positive effect on the exercise capacity of patients.

TL;DR: R descriptors have prognostic relevance with R(un) survival stratifying between R0 and R1, and a detailed evaluation of R factor is of particular importance in the design and analyses of clinical trials of adjuvant therapies.

TL;DR: The combined use of endoscopic staging and surgical staging results in the highest accuracy in patients with potentially resectable non-small cell lung cancer and adenocarcinoma with high SUV uptake.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that TENS provided a better pain relief and comfort compared to PCA from the fourth postoperative day onwards, and this pain-reducing effect continued for at least two months postoperatively.
