Diagnostic efficacy of intraoperative histopathological examination of lesions with unknown diagnosis suspicious for malignancy.

Objective: In this study, the efficiency of intraoperative histopathological examination (frozen section examination; FS) in patients operated per suspected lung malignancy was evaluated.

Methods: The data of 136 patients who underwent surgery in our clinic due to suspected lung malignancy between January 2020 and June 2021 was evaluated prospectively.

Results: The FS was inconclusive in 7.

Bibliometric analysis of 40 most cited articles comparing video-assisted thoracic surgery and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery in lung cancer (1997-2021).

Background: In recent years, conventional thoracoscopic surgery has been accepted as the traditional treatment method in the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). VATS and RATS, which are the techniques of this surgical method, have been increasing their effectiveness and applicability of late years. The aim of this bibliometric analysis is to evaluate the importance and efficiency of articles comparing VATS and RATS techniques.

Pleural angiosarcoma presenting with spontaneous hemothorax.

Angiosarcomas (ASs) are very rare and constitute 1-2% of soft tissue malignancies. Primary pleural AS (PPAS) is a very rare neoplasm, with only 50 cases reported in the literatüre, and is a tumor with a high tendency for local recurrence and metastasis, with an aggressive course and a generally poor prognosis unless diagnosed early. It originates from the endothelial cells of small blood vessels and therefore can affect many organs.

Factors influencing postoperative recurrence of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Purpose: This study aims to explain the factors that may influence recurrence after surgical resection for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 302 patients who underwent lung resection for stage I-IIA NSCLC in our clinic between January 2014 and August 2021.

Results: The recurrence rate was higher in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) than in those with adenocarcinoma (AC) ( = 0.

The significance of immunonutrition nutritional support in patients undergoing postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for lung cancer: case-control study.

Background: In this study, the effect of postoperative early nutritional supplementation on the course of the disease was investigated in patients who were operated for non-small cell lung cancer and received adjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods: The study examined the data of patients who anatomical pulmonary resection for non-small cell lung cancer and who were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy at our clinic between January 2014 and January 2020. Patients who received early postoperative nutritional supplements and those who continued with a normal diet were compared in terms of complications, mortality, recurrence, and survival.

The İmportance of tumor markers in patients undergoing resection for lung metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.

Objectives: In patients with suitable conditions, complete resection is a potential curative treatment for lung metastases of colorectal cancers (CRC). Various prognostic factors affecting survival have been reported in these patients. In our study, the prognostic significance of CEA and CA19-9 tumor markers in patients who underwent lung resection for CRC metastasis was researched.

Relationship between survival and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in patients operated for lung cancer.

Background: This study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative erythrocyte sedimentation rate and survival in patients undergoing pulmonary resection due to lung cancer.

Methods: Between January 2011 and July 2017, a total of 575 patients (433 males, 142 females; mean age: 61.2±9.

Bibliometric Analysis of 50 Most Cited Articles Comparing Lobectomy with Sublobar Resection.

Background: Recent years have seen an increase in the number of studies of the sublobar resection approach in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) surgery. The purpose of this bibliometric analysis is to assess the significance and impact of articles comparing sublobar resection and lobectomy in NSCLC surgery.

Material And Methods: The Web of Science database was searched to identify studies comparing sublobar resection and lobectomy in NSCLC surgery published between 2005 and 2020 (accessed: September 11, 2020).

Pulmonary Metastasectomy of Sarcoma: Is the Ratio of Surgical Margin to Nodule Size a Prognostic Factor?

Background:  Main prognostic factors of improved survival after pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) for osteogenic and soft tissue sarcomas are suggested as histological type, number and size of pulmonary nodules, and disease-free interval (DFI).

Methods:  Sixty-nine patients who underwent PM between January 1999 and December 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Relations between parameters and prognostic risk factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were evaluated.
