Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy for the treatment of thymic epithelial malignancies with pleural spread or recurrence (CHOICE): a study protocol for a prospective, open, single-arm study
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of S-HITHOC in the treatment of TETs with pleural spread or recurrence.METHODS: This study is an open, single-arm, prospective trial. Approximately 37 patients diagnosed with TETs with pleural spread or recurrence at the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University will be recruited and treated with S-HITHOC. The co-primary outcomes of the study are the length of postoperative hospital stay, complications, and overall quality of life (QoL). The secondary outcomes include drainage duration, volume, and cumulative pain scores.DISCUSSION: This trial was approved by the Zhongshan Hosp...

Surgical lung biopsy for suspected interstitial lung disease with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is safe, providing exact histological and disease specific diagnosis for tailoring treatment
CONCLUSIONS: Lung biopsy with VATS-technique provided a definitive histological and disease specific diagnosis in majority of cases. The procedure is safe, reflected in low complication-rates and short hospital stay, and can therefore be used to diagnose and tailor treatment of ILD patients.PMID:38410568 | PMC:PMC10894428 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1107 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Comparison of safety and anxiety/depression in computed tomography-guided hook-wire localization versus electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided localization: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: ENB-guided and CT-guided localization can effectively identify solitary pulmonary nodules. ENB-guided localization has fewer complications, lower incidence of adverse events, and less impact on postoperative anxiety or depression, suggesting that this is a promising, safe, and feasible method for localization of solitary pulmonary nodules.PMID:38410569 | PMC:PMC10894390 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1351 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Survival comparison of pulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma, adenocarcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation, and adenocarcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with lung ADE_ned had a significantly poorer survival outcome compared to those with lung ADE or NEC. Furthermore, sex, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, and surgery were found to be independent prognostic indicators for cases with lung ADE_ned.PMID:38410570 | PMC:PMC10894407 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1811 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial miniforceps biopsy an urban center experience
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that combining EBUS-MFB with EBUS-TBNA can improve the diagnostic yield, particularly in benign cases and sarcoidosis. These findings support the potential superiority of adding EBUS-MFB over EBUS-TBNA alone and highlight the need for further randomized control trials to validate these results. The retrospective nature of this study and certain limitations, such as the lack of adequate longer-term follow-up, selection and operator biases, and the absence of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in some cases, should be considered when interpreting the results. Nonetheless, this study contributes t...
