Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a predominant subtype and treatment may include immunotherapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. Tumors of bigger size infiltrating large bronchi and vessels require more invasive resection such as pneumonectomy. To save lung parenchyma, sleeve lobectomy can be performed in certain patients.We report the case of a patient with NSCLC infiltrating the chest wall who underwent arterial sleeve lobectomy with rib resection. Furthermore, we discuss other surgical treatment strategies.A 58-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital in 2020 with pain in her left posterolateral chest. Radiological imaging revealed a tumor (5.0×3.5×4.8 cm) in the top of the left lung, infiltrating pulmonary artery and ribs. Therefore, left upper sleeve lobectomy together with resection of rib blocks II to V was performed. The surgery was uncomplicated, but a few weeks postoperatively, the patient experienced repeated episodes of consciousness disturbances. Contrast CT revealed a cerebral malformation in the patient who died 3.5 months after surgery.Sleeve lobectomy can be safely performed in patients with lung tumors infiltrating larger bronchi and vessels who would not tolerate pneumonectomy.

Objective: We aimed to identify the diagnostic value of next-generation sequencing (NGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Forty patients who were initially diagnosed with pulmonary nodules were enrolled. Frozen section histology was used to identify the NSCLC cell types.

Sleeve lobectomy has solidified its position as a preferred alternative to pneumonectomy due to its significant advantage in preserving lung function, whereas right lower lobe sleeve lobectomy remains relatively uncommon because of the higher technical challenge. With the development of minimally invasive technology and experience acquired over the years, robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) has shown progress and distinct advantages compared to the traditional thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach. Owing to its 3D vision, bendable wrist joints, and tremor filtration capabilities, this surgical technique exhibits great advantages in complex thoracic operations demanding for reconstructive procedures compared to traditional thoracoscopic surgery.

Background: In the treatment of central-type non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), sleeve lobectomy (SL) has emerged as the surgical treatment of choice over pneumonectomy (PN). This retrospective study evaluates the clinical profiles and prognostic elements impacting survival and recurrence rates in patients who underwent SL.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 288 patients who underwent SL from January 2010 to December 2023.

Background: To compare short-term mortality and long-term overall survival between sleeve lobectomy and pneumonectomy for centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who had been radically resected for NSCLC by sleeve lobectomy with or without pulmonary arterioplasty at our institution between 2009 and 2023. We then propensity score-matched the patients with pneumonectomy counterparts from a national registry and compared their 30- and 90-day mortality and long-term overall survival before and after matching.
