TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the effect of screening with low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT) on lung cancer mortality and found that the mortality benefit from lung cancer screening by LDCT might be far smaller than anticipated.

TL;DR: The results of the DANTE (Detection and screening of early lung cancer with Novel imaging TEchnology) trial do not allow us to make a definitive statement about the efficacy of LDCT screening, but underline the importance of obtaining additional data from randomized trials with intervention-free reference arms before the implementation of population screening.

TL;DR: A radiomic signature, for either CT, PET, or PET/CT images, has been identified and validated for the prediction of disease-free survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated by surgery.

TL;DR: PET radiomics features were able to differentiate between primary and metastatic lung lesions and showed the potential to identify primary lung cancer subtypes.

TL;DR: The characteristics and function of the robotic system available today (namely, Intuitive Surgical Inc.'s da Vinci Surgical System), the different techniques for major lung resection via RATS, compare RATS with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and speculate on future developments are reviewed.
