Introduction: Pancoast tumors encompass any tumor located on the lung apex, extending into structures in the thoracic inlet and, often, leading to the characteristic clinical syndrome. The main goal of this study is to analyze the response to multimodal treatment and outcome of patients with Pancoast tumors.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort single center study of patients with superior sulcus nonsmall cell lung carcinomas who underwent surgery between January of 2011 and February of 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • The text describes a complex robotic-assisted surgery to remove a right posterior Pancoast tumor using the DaVinci X system, involving multiple surgical ports.
  • The procedure involved lobectomy, rib resection, and extensive dissection around the thoracic area, ultimately requiring a small thoracotomy to complete tumor removal due to its invasion into surrounding structures.
  • Post-surgery, the patient had a smooth recovery and was discharged after 5 days, with the tumor confirmed as squamous non-small-cell lung cancer; however, a year later, an asymptomatic recurrence was addressed with radiotherapy.
