Potential Impact of Omega 6/3 Ratio and CD68+ Macrophage Infiltration on Survival in NSCLC Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Resection.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for the majority of cases. The stage of detection significantly influences survival rates with early-stage diagnosis offering the best prognosis. This study investigates the prognostic impact of the omega-6/omega-3 ratio and tumor infiltration by CD8+ lymphocytes and CD68+ macrophages on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in NSCLC patients undergoing pulmonary resection.

A Comparison of Total Thoracoscopic and Robotic Surgery for Lung Cancer Lymphadenectomy.

Background: Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is used increasingly frequently in major lung resection for early stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but has not yet been fully evaluated. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of lymph node dissection (LND) performed via RATS with those from totally thoracoscopic (TT) four-port videothoracoscopy.

Methods: Clinical and pathological data were collected retrospectively from patients with clinical stage N0 NSCLC who underwent pulmonary resection in the form of lobectomy or segmental resection between June 2010 and November 2022.

The Influence of Preoperative Nutritional and Systemic Inflammatory Status on Perioperative Outcomes following Da Vinci Robot-Assisted Thoracic Lung Cancer Surgery.

Background: Nutrition is an important factor in the outcome of any disease process. We evaluated the relationship of nutritional status and inflammatory status of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) with postoperative complications. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 107 NSCLC patients undergoing surgical treatment, between 2019 and 2021.

Preoperative Omega-6/Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ratio Could Predict Postoperative Outcomes in Patients with Surgically Resected Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

The aim of this study was to determine whether preoperative nutritional status and inflammatory status, specifically polyunsaturated acids and the omega 6/3 ratio, would affect postoperative outcomes and complications in patients with lung cancer undergoing lung resection. This prospective observational study included 68 patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer who were candidates for radical surgery. A complete nutritional assessment was performed.

Suspected adverse events following immunization against SARS-CoV2 in a university hospital in 2021: Observational study.

Aim: Vaccination against SARS-CoV2 has been proposed as a fundamental element for the control of the pandemic. This study aimed to describe the suspected adverse reactions (ADR) reported by vaccinated hospital workers.

Methods: A descriptive study of suspected ADR was conducted between January and March 2021.
