Background: The American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) revised operative quality standards recommending resection of lymph nodes from at least one hilar station and three different mediastinal stations in all curative-intent pulmonary resections. This study evaluated the prognostic value and factors associated with adherence to this new CoC standard in patients with resected clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Retrospective review of 654 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for clinical IA NSCLC.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the feasibility and safety of active surveillance for patients with multiple ground glass opacities (GGOs) in the lungs, which are a common concern in medical imaging.
- A total of 337 patients, primarily older adults with a significant history of smoking, were enrolled and monitored over time, with each GGO documented via CT scans every 6 to 12 months.
- Preliminary findings suggest that active surveillance is a viable management option for patients, with ongoing assessments planned to evaluate long-term safety and outcomes over five years.
