Introduction And Importance: Comprehensive reports on surgery for metachronous multiple primary lung cancers after the third or subsequent surgeries are lacking. Herein, we report a case in which six radical surgeries were performed for metachronous primary lung cancer.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 62-year-old man when he underwent his first surgery, a right lower lobectomy, and the pathological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma.
Using a wheelchair over uneven terrain generates vibrations of the human body. These vibrations result from mechanical energy impulses transferred from the ground through the wheelchair components to the user's body, which may negatively affect the quality of the wheelchair use and the user's health. This energy can be dissipated through the structure of the wheelchair frame, such as polymer and carbon fiber composites.

However, upfront pulmonary vein division is theoretically desirable to avoid tumor cells spreading by surgical manipulation. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with poor prognosis and an increased number of circulating tumor cells.
