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.

Preoperative assessment for lung cancer surgery.

TL;DR: An important change relating to cardiopulmonary reserves of the patient is the shift in emphasis toward early exercise testing and, in particular, the use of stair climbing as a surrogate marker of maximal oxygen consumption.

Hospital volume: operative morbidity, mortality and survival in thoracotomy for lung cancer. A Spanish multicenter study of 2994 cases.

TL;DR: No significant differences that do not favor the hypothesis that there is increased surgical risk and worse survival in centers having a lower volume were found in this Spanish multicenter study.

Quality of life after tailored combined surgery for stage I non–small-cell lung cancer and severe emphysema

TL;DR: This study suggests that selected patients with stage I NSCLC and severe emphysema may significantly benefit from tailored combined surgery in terms of long-term quality of life and survival.

Evidence of Lower Alteration of Expiratory Volume in Patients With Airflow Limitation in the Immediate Period After Lobectomy

TL;DR: Preoperative COPD degree (measured as COPD index) has a direct independent correlation with the decrease in postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second the day after surgery.
