Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) as a prognostic marker to identify high-risk patients with multifocal non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) that are 3 cm or smaller, filling a gap in postoperative treatment standards.
- Researchers analyzed clinical and survival data from 119 patients and found that higher MTA1 expression correlates with poor disease-free survival (DFS), particularly in specific lung cancer subtypes.
- The findings suggest that patients with MTA1 scores above 5.6 have an increased risk of recurrence post-surgery and may benefit from additional chemotherapy.
Article Synopsis
- Doctors are looking at a new way to remove lymph nodes in lung cancer surgery that makes it easier to see and work in the area.
- They studied 204 patients and found that their method worked well, with surgeries lasting about 102 minutes and not too much blood loss.
- The new method is safe, with only a small number of patients having complications after surgery and no one dying during the procedure.

Surgery is currently the most appropriate treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Increasing unilateral or bilateral multiple primary lung cancer being found, segmentectomy has attracted wide attention for its unique advantages in the treatment for such tumors. Ground glass opacity dominant early-stage NSCLC is associated with a good prognosis and can be cured by segmentectomy, however, the treatment of solid-dominant NSCLC remains controversial owing to the invasive nature.
