National practice trends for the surgical management of lung cancer in the CMS population: an atlas of care.

Conclusions: While the prevalence of lung cancer in the United States was unchanged between 2006 and 2014, the use of VATS techniques increased five-fold. Further studies to better understand the adoption or availability of new surgical techniques in lung cancer populations across geographic regions and patient populations are necessary.
