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.

Surgical Treatment for Octogenarians with Lung Cancer: Results from a Population-Based Series of 124 Patients
TL;DR: Until effective alternative treatment becomes available, surgical resection, preceded by a thorough preoperative assessment, should be considered in the “old but fit” octogenarian.

Stair Climbing in the Functional Assessment of Lung Resection Candidates. Commentary
Alessandro Brunelli,Coenraad F.N. Koegelenberg,Andreas H. Diacon,Sarosh Irani,Chris T. Bolliger +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the altitude reached and the average speed of ascent with VO 2 MAX measured by cycle ergometry, and found that the latter was an accurate semiquantitative predictor of lung function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proper treatment selection may improve survival in patients with clinical early-stage nonsmall cell lung cancer.
TL;DR: Patients with a CCI score of 3 or more have an increased risk of major postoperative complications and show a better survival after surgery than after radiotherapy, but for patients with significant comorbidity but with sufficient pulmonary reserve, surgery offers the best outcome.

Changes in Pulmonary Function Tests After Neoadjuvant Therapy Predict Postoperative Complications
TL;DR: A decrease in the percent diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide corrected for the alveolar volume after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy may predict increased risk for pulmonary resection, especially if the decrease is 8% or greater.

Preoperative risk assessment for marginal patients requiring pulmonary resection.
TL;DR: This review will define the marginal patients who can safely undergo pulmonary resection in patients previously deemed inoperable with marginal lung function.
