Pneumonectomy is performed for a number of benign and malignant conditions. It is most commonly performed for lung cancer. Adjuvant and neoadjuvant protocols have increased the number of these operations being performed and the long-term results are improving. Pneumonectomy may also be performed for metastases to lung and for mesothelioma with encouraging results. Some bronchial adenomas require pneumonectomy. Treatment of resistant mycobacteria or the complications of tuberculosis frequently require pneumonectomy. Late bronchopleural fistulae, esophagopleural fistulae, and empyema may occur.

Department of Radiology, State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Collaborative Innovation Center for Cancer Medicine, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, No. No. 651, Dongfeng Road East, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510060, P.R. China.
Background: Chest computed tomography (CT) may provide evidence to forecast unexpected recurrence and metastasis following radical surgery for stage I synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC).
Objective: This study aims to develop and validate a novel CT-based multi-parametric decision tree algorithm (CT-DTA) model capable of accurate risk assessment.
Design: A multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Globally, lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and continues to take the lead in cancer-related mortality rates. This study aims to provide the latest statistics on the clinical, histopathological, and epidemiological features of lung cancer patients who underwent surgical resection in referral hospitals in Southern Iran.
Method: In this retrospective study, records of all patients with operable primary and secondary lung cancer who underwent surgical resection of the lung in Shiraz hospitals, located in Southern Iran from November 2009 to May 2022 were screened.
Cardiac herniation identified without any symptoms following extrapleural pneumonectomy: a case report.

Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, 465 Kajii-Cho, Kamigyo-Ku, Kyoto, 602-8566, Japan.
Background: Cardiac herniation, especially right-sided herniation, is a fatal complication which causes sudden hypotension due to obstruction of the vena cava. Here, we describe a case of cardiac herniation identified without any symptoms after right extrapleural pneumonectomy performed for diffuse pleural mesothelioma.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old man with diffuse pleural mesothelioma underwent a right extrapleural pneumonectomy after chemotherapy.
Impact of Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Pleural Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy in Multimodality Treatment for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma.
Thorac Cancer
March 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Comprehensive Cancer Center, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Background: Few malignancies provoke as many controversies about treatment as pleural mesothelioma. There is limited experience with novel radiotherapy techniques worldwide in adjuvant and particularly in neoadjuvant settings within multimodality treatment. The objective of the current study was to investigate the long-term outcome of neoadjuvant and adjuvant pleural intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with macroscopic complete resection with or without chemotherapy.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the 4-hook needle localization for pulmonary ground glass nodules (GGNs).
Methods: From November 1, 2021, to May 31, 2024, 194 patients were diagnosed with one or more GGNs by computed tomography (CT) scan and underwent preoperative CT-guided 4-hook needle localization followed by video-assisted thoracoscope surgery (VATS) wedge resection, segmentectomy or lobectomy. There were 226 nodules in all patients.
