Benjamin D. Kozower,Shubin Sheng,Sean M. O'Brien,Michael J. Liptay,Christine L. Lau,David R. Jones,David M. Shahian,Cameron D. Wright +7 more
TL;DR: The risk-adjustment models created have excellent performance characteristics and identify important predictors of mortality and major morbidity for lung cancer resections for Thoracic surgeons participating in the STS GTDB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Special Treatment Issues in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines
TL;DR: This guideline updates the second edition and addresses patients with particular forms of non-small cell lung cancer that require special considerations, including Pancoast tumors, T4 N0,1 M0 tumors, additional nodules in the same lobe, ipsilateral different lobe, synchronous and metachronous second primary lung cancers, solitary brain and adrenal metastases, and chest wall involvement.
