Immunotherapy-induced granulomatous reaction in patients with melanoma.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent a new era in stage IV melanoma treatment. These agents are generally well tolerated but have specific side effects. The granulomatous reaction is one of such ICI-related adverse events.

Complication and cost analysis of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy and awake video-assisted thoracic surgery in diagnosis of interstitial lung disease.

Aim And Introduction: Diagnosing of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is difficult and expensive. The standard diagnostical approaches to ILD are bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial lung biopsy, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) and surgical lung biopsy (SLB). SLB is gold standard for the confident diagnosis of ILD but because of the poor performance of the patients it's use is limited.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy and bilobectomy versus open thoracotomy for non-small cell lung cancer: Mortality and survival.

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate patients who had non-small cell lung cancer and underwent resection, to investigate our tendency to prefer video-assisted thoracic surgery or open thoracotomy, and to compare 30- and 90-day mortalities and survival rates.

Methods: Between January 2013 and January 2019, a total of 706 patients (577 males, 129 females; mean age: 61.9±8.

Iterative surgical resections in non-small cell lung cancer.

Introduction: We reviewed our surgical preferences and the prognosis for recurrent and second primary tumors in patients who underwent surgical treatment for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).

Aim: We report our experience with patients undergoing iterative pulmonary resection for lung cancer.

Material And Methods: Among patients who underwent anatomical resection for primary NSCLC, those who underwent a second surgical resection between 2010 and 2020 due to recurrent or second primary tumor were included in the study.

Lung Cancer Surgery in Patients With a History of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft: A Multicentre Study.

Background: Lung cancer surgery may be required for patients with a history of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). In this study, we evaluated the general characteristics of patients, the difficulties experienced during and after lung cancer surgery and complications and mortality rates.

Method: Patients who were operated on for primary lung cancer between January 2012 and July 2017 in the participating centres were analysed retrospectively (n=7,530).
