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.

Evaluation of Individuals With Pulmonary Nodules: When Is It Lung Cancer?: Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines

TL;DR: Recommendations for evaluation and management of individuals with solid pulmonary nodules and those with nonsolid nodules are formulated by using the methods described in the "Methodology for Development of Guidelines for Lung Cancer" in the American College of Chest Physicians Lung Cancer Guidelines, 3rd ed.

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.

Screening for Lung Cancer: CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report

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

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.

Combined operations for lung volume reduction surgery and lung cancer

TL;DR: Fifty-three lung masses were found in 51 (16%) of 325 patients who underwent lung volume reduction surgery, which included 11 non-small cell lung cancers and 42 benign lung masses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise capacity and extent of resection as predictors of surgical risk in lung cancer

TL;DR: Maximal oxygen uptake and the estimated extent of lung tissue resection are independent predictors of postoperative complications and these simple parameters should be integrated into the preoperative decision analysis for operability in patients undergoing lung resection for lung cancer.

Pulmonary Function Tests Do Not Predict Pulmonary Complications After Thoracoscopic Lobectomy

TL;DR: In patients with impaired pulmonary function, preoperative pulmonary function tests are predictors of pulmonary complications when lobectomy for lung cancer is performed throughThoracotomy but not through thoracoscopy.

Pulmonary resection in octogenarians with stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer: a 22-year experience

TL;DR: The 5-year survival, particularly in patients with stage Ia tumors with favorable ASA and FEV, supports the notion that health status and tumor stage outweigh chronologic age in determining surgical candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recovery and limitation of exercise capacity after lung resection for lung cancer.

TL;DR: There are differences between lobectomy and pneumonectomy for lung cancer in terms of recovery and limitation of exercise capacity, and postoperatively, maximal minute ventilation (VEmax), the maximal heart rate percentage, and maximal O2 pulse during the exercise test significantly decreased.
