TLDR
The newly refined CPRL-4 is safe and yields an R0 resection with complete lymph node removal that has lower morbidity, mortality, shorter hospital stay, and better quality of life than rib- and nerve-sparing thoracotomy.

2nd ESMO Consensus Conference on Lung Cancer: early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer consensus on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up

TL;DR: A total of 35 experts met to address several questions on non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in each of four areas: pathology and molecular biomarkers, first-line/second and further lines in advanced disease, early-stage disease and locally advanced disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Open, video-assisted thoracic surgery, and robotic lobectomy: review of a national database.

TL;DR: Case volume for robotic pulmonary resection has increased significantly during the study period, and thoracic surgeons have been able to adopt the robotic approach safely, and robotic resection appears to be an appropriate alternative to VATS and is associated with improved outcomes compared with open thoracotomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robotic lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): long-term oncologic results.

TL;DR: Robotic lobectomy for early-stage NSCLC can be performed with low morbidity and mortality and long-term stage-specific survival is acceptable and consistent with prior results for VATS and thoracotomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early experience with robotic lung resection results in similar operative outcomes and morbidity when compared with matched video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery cases.

TL;DR: Early experience with robotic resection resulted in similar outcomes compared with mature VATS cases, suggesting a potential benefit of robotics may relate to postoperative pain reduction and earlier return to usual activities.

The central role of the propensity score in observational studies for causal effects

Paul R. Rosenbaum, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1983 - 
TL;DR: The authors discusses the central role of propensity scores and balancing scores in the analysis of observational studies and shows that adjustment for the scalar propensity score is sufficient to remove bias due to all observed covariates.

A 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey: Construction of Scales and Preliminary Tests of Reliability and Validity

TL;DR: Twenty cross-sectional and longitudinal tests of empirical validity previously published for the 36-item short-form scales and summary measures were replicated for the 12-item Physical Component Summary and the12-item Mental Component Summary, including comparisons between patient groups known to differ or to change in terms of the presence and seriousness of physical and mental conditions.

Long-Term Consequences of Kidney Donation

TL;DR: Survival and the risk of ESRD in carefully screened kidney donors appear to be similar to those in the general population.

New Technology and Health Care Costs — The Case of Robot-Assisted Surgery

TL;DR: These patterns are examined as they apply to the case of robot-assisted surgery, which allows a surgeon at a console to operate remote-controlled robotic arms, which may facilitate the performance of laparoscopic procedures.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized and Nonrandomized Trials on Safety and Efficacy of Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Lobectomy for Early-Stage Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

TL;DR: Both randomized and nonrandomized trials suggest that VATS lobectomy is an appropriate procedure for selected patients with early-stage NSCLC when compared with open surgery.
