Mediastinoscopy is often necessary in management of lung cancer. Progress recently achieved in the field of thoracoscopy has led us to introduce videothoracoscopy as a complement to mediastinoscopy in preoperative management of such tumors. From June 1994 to June 1995, 113 patients presenting with stage I-IIIA lung cancer underwent a videothoracoscopy before surgery. No side-effects were observed. Results obtained in this study lead us to conclude that videothoracoscopy is useful before surgery of lung cancer.

Recurrence Patterns and Management after Pleurectomy Decortication for Pleural Mesothelioma.
Ann Surg
January 2025
The Thoracic Surgery Oncology laboratory and the International Mesothelioma Program (www.impmeso.org), Division of Thoracic Surgery and the Lung Center, Brigham, and Women's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, 75 Francis Street, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
Objective: We hypothesize that recurrence following pleurectomy decortication (PD) is primarily local. We explored factors associated with tumor recurrence patterns, disease-free interval (DFI), and post-recurrence survival (PRS).
Summary Background Data: Tumor recurrence is a major barrier for long-term survival after pleural mesothelioma (PM) surgery.

Gender Disparities and Lung Cancer Screening Outcomes Among Individuals Who Have Never Smoked.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Republic of Korea.
Importance: Lung cancer in individuals who have never smoked (INS) is a growing global concern, with a rapidly increasing incidence and proportion among all lung cancer cases. Particularly in East Asia, opportunistic lung cancer screening (LCS) programs targeting INS have gained popularity. However, the sex-specific outcomes and drawbacks of screening INS remain unexplored, with data predominantly focused on women.

Hunan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, No. 58, Yuelu District, Changsha, 410006, Hunan, China.
Objective: Rosmarinic acid (RosA) is a natural polyphenol compound that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory disease and a variety of malignant tumors. However, its specific mechanism for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the mechanism of RosA in the treatment of LUAD by integrating bioinformatics, network pharmacology and in vivo experiments, and to explore the potential of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine in treating LUAD.

Background: Recent studies have highlighted the role of RNA modification, that is, the dysregulation of epitranscriptomics, in tumorigenesis and progression. The potential for undoing epigenetic changes may develop novel therapeutic and prognostic approaches. However, the roles of these RNA modifications in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are still unknown.
