Outcomes of oncological intended thoracic surgery after lung transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of lung cancer is increased after LT. Follow-up care allows early diagnosis with a comparably high share of operable tumor stage. Cancer as well as postoperative complications were more likely after single lung transplantation (SLT). Postoperative morbidity and mortality are higher in this scarce group of patients and hence, warrants a centered and experienced interdisciplinary approach.PMID:38617760 | PMC:PMC11009586 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1669 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

A comparison of machine learning methods for radiomics modeling in prediction of occult lymph node metastasis in clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma patients
CONCLUSIONS: The superior performance of the combined model, based on XGB algorithm in predicting ONM in patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma, might aid surgeons in deciding whether to conduct mediastinal LN dissection and contribute to improve patients' prognosis.PMID:38617761 | PMC:PMC11009592 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1578 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Research trends and hotspots in the field of electrical impedance tomography for mechanical ventilation: a bibliometric analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Significant progress has been made in EIT research for mechanical ventilation. EIT research is limited to a small number of countries with a present research focus on the prevention and treatment of ventilator-related lung injury, oxygenation status, and prone ventilation. These topics are expected to remain research hotspots in the future.PMID:38617762 | PMC:PMC11009609 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-98 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Establishment and verification of a prediction model based on clinical characteristics and computed tomography radiomics parameters for distinguishing benign and malignant pulmonary nodules
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical-radiomics nomogram combined of CT-based radiomics signature, along with CYFRA21-1 and CEA, demonstrated strong predictive ability, calibration, and clinical usefulness in distinguishing between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. The use of CT-based radiomics has the potential to assist clinicians in making informed decisions prior to biopsy or surgery while avoiding unnecessary treatment for non-cancerous lesions.PMID:38617763 | PMC:PMC11009598 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1400 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy versus minimally invasive esophagectomy for thoracic lymph node dissection in patients with squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective comparative cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that RAMIE may be more effective than MIE in terms of the number thoracic lymph nodes dissected and the extent of dissection. Moreover, RAMIE may be not associated with additional surgical complications.PMID:38617764 | PMC:PMC11009590 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-201 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Wedge resection, segmentectomy, and lobectomy: oncologic outcomes based on extent of surgical resection for ≤2 cm stage IA non-small cell lung cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with inferior performance status or lower baseline pulmonary function are more likely to receive wedge resection for clinical stage IA NSCLC ≤2 cm in size. For these small tumors, lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection provide comparable oncologic outcomes.PMID:38617767 | PMC:PMC11009583 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1693 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
