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.

TL;DR: In the preoperative setting, gemcitabine-based chemotherapy was well tolerated and the most commonly affected PFT parameter postchemotherapy was the Dlco, which did not correlate with clinical symptoms or affect the ability to undergo surgical resection.

Preoperative maximal exercise oxygen consumption test predicts postoperative pulmonary morbidity following major lung resection.
TL;DR: The utility of maximal oxygen uptake test (VO2max) to predict cardiopulmonary complications following major pulmonary resection was evaluated.

Influence of preoperative exercise capacity on length of stay after thoracic cancer surgery.
TL;DR: Treadmill exercise capacity has independent predictive value for LOS and risk of prolonged stay after thoracic cancer surgery, suggesting that preoperative programs designed to improve exercise capacity may favorably influence Los and associated costs.

Lung Volume Reduction Surgery Alters Management of Pulmonary Nodules in Patients With Severe COPD
Tammy Ojo,Fernando J. Martinez,Robert Paine,Paul J. Christensen,Jeffrey L. Curtis,John G. Weg,Ella A. Kazerooni,Richard I. Whyte +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in expanding the treatment options for patients with single pulmonary nodules and emphysema was examined, and the authors concluded that LVRS is feasible and associated with minimal morbidity and significantly improved pulmonary function and dyspnea.

TL;DR: The value of exercise testing and measurement of pulmonary haemodynamics (PH) in the pre-operative assessment of 5 patients with clinical stage I or II bronchogenic carcinoma and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was compared and all 5 patients were offered surgery and underwent lobectomy.
