Physiologic evaluation of the patient with lung cancer being considered for resectional surgery: Diagnosis and management of lung cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.

TLDR
A careful preoperative physiologic assessment is useful for identifying those patients at increased risk with standard lung cancer resection and for enabling an informed decision by the patient about the appropriate therapeutic approach to treating his or her lung cancer.

Clinical Outcomes of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for All Stages of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer; Definitive versus Consolidative

TL;DR: Definitive SABR is appropriate for medically inoperable or high surgical risk patients with early stage NSCLC with acceptable treatment-related toxicities and helps achieve long-term survival in patients with limited metastaticNSCLC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anästhesie in der Thoraxchirurgie

TL;DR: The preoperative evaluation of pulmonary and cardiac risk stratification is discussed as well as methods for patient optimization before surgery and the various devices for isolated lung ventilation and the choice of ventilation strategy are discussed.

Cancer; Pathophysiology and Stress Modulation (Cancer, Therapeutic Interventions).

TL;DR: In this article , a review is presented to describe the myriad complications of cancer and its therapies to emphasize the pathophysiological need for prehabilitation, which can improve patient health prior to anticancer therapies to improve treatment tolerance and efficacy.

Standardisation of spirometry

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “Standardation of LUNG FUNCTION TESTing” that combines “situational awareness” and “machine learning” to solve the challenge of integrating nanofiltration into the energy system.

Derivation and Prospective Validation of a Simple Index for Prediction of Cardiac Risk of Major Noncardiac Surgery

TL;DR: In stable patients undergoing nonurgent major noncardiac surgery, this index can identify patients at higher risk for complications and may be useful for identification of candidates for further risk stratification with noninvasive technologies or other management strategies.

Effects of extended-release metoprolol succinate in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (POISE trial): a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: The results highlight the risk in assuming a perioperative beta-blocker regimen has benefit without substantial harm, and the importance and need for large randomised trials in theperioperative setting.
