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.

Lobectomy Combined With Volume Reduction For Patients With Lung Cancer And Advanced Emphysema

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of anatomic lobectomy and volume reduction was performed on five patients with severe emphysema and suspected or proven lung cancers, who were poor candidates for anatomic lung lobectomy by traditional criteria but were good candidates for volume reduction, combined with volume reduction of one or more additional lobes.

Early postoperative mobilization with walking at 4 hours after lobectomy in lung cancer patients

TL;DR: Walking at 4 h after lobectomy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancers is a safe approach to starting pulmonary rehabilitation after surgery.

Exercise oximetry versus spirometry in the assessment of risk prior to lung resection

TL;DR: It is concluded that standardized exercise oximetry is a superior screen of the high-risk patient than spirometry prior to pulmonary resection when there are no other risk factors noted on initial history and physical examination.

Predictors of early morbidity after major lung resection in patients with and without airflow limitation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify predictors of morbidity after major lung resection for non-small cell lung carcinoma in patients with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 ) greater than or equal to 70% of predicted and in those with FEV 1 less than 70% predicted.

External Validation of the Recalibrated Thoracic Revised Cardiac Risk Index for Predicting the Risk of Major Cardiac Complications After Lung Resection

TL;DR: The recalibrated ThRCRI is a reliable instrument that can be used during preoperative workup to differentiate patients needing further cardiologic testing from those who can proceed without any further cardiac testing.
