Background And Objectives: Biologic therapy is changing the landscape of lung cancer treatment. The objectives of this study were to compare overall survival (OS) between patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing neoadjuvant and adjuvant biologic therapy in combination with surgery and to evaluate the impact of chemotherapy on survival after combination biologic therapy and surgery.
Methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for cases of NSCLC from 2004 to 2016.
We present a Feynman integral representation for the general momentum-space scalar n-point function in any conformal field theory. This representation solves the conformal Ward identities and features an arbitrary function of n(n-3)/2 variables which play the role of momentum-space conformal cross ratios. It involves (n-1)(n-2)/2 integrations over momenta, with the momenta running over the edges of an (n-1) simplex.

Surgical treatment of thoracic aortic disease then progressed along with advances in surgical technique, conduit production, cardiopulmonary bypass, and endovascular technology. Despite radical advances in aortic surgery, principles established by surgical pioneers of the 19th century hold firm to this day.

We present a case and review the potential contributing factors for pericardial constriction after lung transplantation. Treatment for this condition, irrespective of the cause, remains pericardiectomy.
