Background: Pleural invasion (PI) is considered to be an adverse prognostic factor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the prognostic roles of PI in pathologic (p)T3-4N0M0 NSCLC remain controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of PI in patients with pT3-4N0M0 NSCLC.

Methods: We reviewed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database to retrieve the data of patients who underwent pneumonectomy for stage I-III NSCLC from 2004 to 2015.
Article Synopsis
- The bacteria called (the name is missing) causes a common kind of lung infection known as pneumonia around the world.
- Researchers found that this bacteria can break down important proteins in the lung that help keep it strong and healthy.
- They discovered that when the bacteria changes the acid levels in the lungs, it makes things worse, but if they keep the acid levels normal, it helps protect the lungs and immune system during the infection.
Robotic-assisted extended thymectomy for large resectable thymoma: 21 years' experience.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the perioperative and midterm oncological outcomes of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery extended thymectomy for patients with large resectable thymomas compared with small thymomas.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 204 patients with thymomas who underwent robotic-assisted thoracic surgery extended thymectomy between January 2003 and February 2024. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the thymoma size (5-cm threshold).
Background And Objective: The development of early screening for lung cancer has led to improved overall survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the management of NSCLC patients with resectable and potentially resectable chest wall invasion (CWI) requires attention. The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of surgery (chest wall resections) in NSCLC patients with CWI.
