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.

Surgery versus stereotactic body radiotherapy in medically operable non-small cell lung cancer

Boon-Hean Ong
TL;DR: Current evidence still favors the use of surgery to treat eligible patients in NSCLC, and recent advances in the field of thoracic surgery such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and the development of non-intubated thorACic surgery should further improve the outcome for lung cancer patients undergoing surgery.

Morbidity and mortality of lung resection candidates defined by the American College of Chest Physicians as ‘moderate risk’: an analysis from the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons database

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons database to evaluate the morbidity and mortality of those patients falling into the moderate risk category with variable morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Refined risk stratification for thoracoscopic lobectomy or segmentectomy

TL;DR: ASA-PS is an easily assessable factor capable of predicting major complications following thoracoscopic lobectomy in patients properly selected in compliance with the current guideline and recommended to incorporate the ASA-PS into the existing algorithm for more accurate risk stratification in this patient population.

Associations between pretreatment physical performance tests and treatment complications in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: A systematic review.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review evaluated which outcome variables and cut-off values of pretreatment exercise tests are associated with treatment complications in patients with stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Hospital Volume and Surgical Mortality in the United States

TL;DR: Mortality decreased as volume increased for all 14 types of procedures, but the relative importance of volume varied markedly according to the type of procedure.

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.
