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.About:

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.

TL;DR: The updated evidence base is used to provide recommendations where the evidence allows, and statements based on experience and expert consensus where it does not, and to optimize the approach to low‐dose CT screening.

Preoperative Assessment as a Predictor of Mortality and Morbidity After Lung Resection
James Markos,Brian P. Mullan,David R. Hillman,Arthur W. Musk,Vince F. Antico,Frederic T. Lovegrove,Martin Carter,Kevin E. Finucane +7 more
TL;DR: Preoperative pulmonary scintigraphy was used to calculate the contribution to overall function by the affected lung or lobe and to predict postoperative lung function, and predicted postoperative FEV1 (FEV1-ppo), diffusing capacity (DLCO) and exercise-induced arterial O2 desaturation (delta SaO2) were predictive of postoperative complications including death and respiratory failure.

Directing Surgical Quality Improvement Initiatives: Comparison of Perioperative Mortality and Long-Term Survival for Cancer Surgery
Karl Y. Bilimoria,David J. Bentrem,Joe Feinglass,Andrew K. Stewart,David P. Winchester,Mark S. Talamonti,Clifford Y. Ko +6 more
TL;DR: Although the magnitude of the hazard ratios implies that quality-improvement efforts should focus on perioperative mortality, a larger number of deaths could be avoided by focusing quality initiatives on factors associated with long-term survival.

TL;DR: Respiratory Function and exercise capacity significantly improve following a post-operative 4-week i-PR in lung resected patients and could be regarded as a component of the management of patients who have undergone LR for cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusing capacity predicts morbidity after lung resection in patients without obstructive lung disease.
TL;DR: Routine measurement of DLCO, regardless of spirometric findings, can help predict risk in candidates for major lung resection because of a perceived lack of value in patients with normal spirometry.

Surgeon specialty and long-term survival after pulmonary resection for lung cancer.
TL;DR: Lung cancer patients treated by GTS had higher long-term survival rates than those treated by GS and general thoracic surgeons performed preoperative and intraoperative staging more often than GS or CTS.

Do multidisciplinary team meetings make a difference in the management of lung cancer
TL;DR: The patterns of care for patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer who were presented at a lung cancer MDT meeting with the patterns of Care for patients who were not presented are compared.
