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.

In-patient rehabilitation of lung cancer patients--a prospective study.
TL;DR: A standardised, aerobic endurance training programme as part of the in-patient oncological rehabilitation of patients with lung cancer results in improvements in both physiological and psychological parameters after therapy.

Effects of lung resection on pulmonary function and exercise capacity.
C Pelletier,L Lapointe,P LeBlanc +2 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that change in FEV1 is a poor predictor of change in exercise capacity after lung resection and after both pneumonectomy and lobectomy leg discomfort makes an important contribution to exercise limitation.

A comparison of three scoring systems for predicting complications after major lung resection.
Mark K. Ferguson,Amy Durkin +1 more
TL;DR: A new predictive scoring system that utilizes pulmonary function test data and patient age predicts the likelihood of complications after major lung resection and is easier to use and at least as accurate as other scoring systems currently in use.

Lung cancer in octogenarians: factors affecting morbidity and mortality after pulmonary resection.
Alberto Dominguez-Ventura,Mark S. Allen,Stephen D. Cassivi,Francis C. Nichols,Claude Deschamps,Peter C. Pairolero +5 more
TL;DR: Pulmonary resection for lung cancer in octogenarians is feasible and correlated with a significant increase in mortality, while prior myocardial revascularization, renal insufficiency, and diabetes were not associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Intercostal muscle flap reduces the pain of thoracotomy: A prospective randomized trial
TL;DR: The harvesting of an intercostal muscle flap before chest retraction decreases the pain of thoracotomy and leads to a lower decrease in spirometry.
