Multiple Lung Resections for Metastases from Pheochromocytoma to Reduce Catecholamine Production.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
A pheochromocytoma is a malignant tumor with metastatic potential. Moreover, the cardiovascular effects of abnormal amounts of catecholamines resulting from pheochromocytoma impact prognosis. Resection of the primary tumor is useful for reducing catecholamine production; however, the significance of resection of metastases remains unclear.

However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We evaluated posture-related morphological changes of the thorax in patients with pectus excavatum.

Article Synopsis
- The Nuss procedure is a minimally invasive surgery for pectus excavatum that has seen various improvements, though the effects of using multiple bars on surgical outcomes are still uncertain.
- A study evaluated 225 patients who underwent the procedure, comparing outcomes between those with 1-2 bars and those with 3 or more bars; results showed more asymmetric conditions and postoperative pleurisy in the group with more bars.
- The study concluded that while using multiple bars can help correct asymmetric cases, there is an increased risk of postoperative complications, particularly pleurisy, that should be monitored.
Purpose: Salvage surgery for primary lung cancer is expected to become increasingly common. This study aimed to clarify the survival impact of pathologic characteristics after salvage surgery.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent salvage surgery following definitive chemoradiotherapy or systemic therapy for initially unresectable lung cancer from 2010 to 2020 were enrolled in this study.
Background: Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is a rare histological type of non-small cell lung cancer with a poor prognosis. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of surgically resected sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 14999 patients who underwent surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer accumulated by the Japanese Joint Committee of Lung Cancer Registry in 2010.
