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.

Advanced Age Is Not Correlated With Either Short-term or Long-term Postoperative Results in Lung Cancer Patients In Good Clinical Condition
Shigeki Sawada,Eisaku Komori,Naoyuki Nogami,Akihiro Bessho,Yoshihiko Segawa,Tetsu Shinkai,Masao Nakata,Motohiro Yamashita +7 more
TL;DR: In elderly patients with good PS and no comorbidity, the rate of perioperative mortality and the prognosis were similar to those in the younger patients, therefore, advanced age only is not a negative factor for surgery in elderly patients.

Evidence-Based Preoperative Evaluation of Candidates for Thoracotomy
TL;DR: All patients considered for thoracotomy should have preoperative spirometry and patients meeting the criteria outlined below should also have quantitative radionuclide perfusion scanning.

Role of CO diffusing capacity during exercise in the preoperative evaluation for lung resection.
TL;DR: Results suggested that (70% - R)-DL(CO)% was the best preoperative predictor of postoperative complications; a cutoff limit of 10%was the best index to identify complications.

Pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer: a prospective study to compare patients with forced expiratory volume in 1 s more or less than 80% of predicted
TL;DR: Lobectomy for cancer can be performed successfully also in selected patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and post-operative course and survival of these patients is not different from that of patients with normal FEV1, on the contrary, patients with lowFEV1 may lose less pulmonary function or even mend it.

Fall in diffusing capacity associated with induction therapy for lung cancer : A predictor of postoperative complication?
Shin'ichi Takeda,Yasunobu Funakoshi,Yoshihisa Kadota,Masaru Koma,Hajime Maeda,Satoko Kawamura,Yoko Matsubara +6 more
TL;DR: For patients who undergo a pulmonary resection after induction therapy, predicted postoperative D(LCO) is more important to predict pulmonary morbidity rather than static pulmonary function (predicted postoperative %VC or %FEV1).
