More importantly, exquisite hand-painted sketches are presented, which make the procedure of lung segment resection easy to understand. This case-based book will be a valuable reference for thoracic surgeons and those who are interested in related field.
Download or read book Illustrated Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer written by Hiroaki Nomori and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in CT have enabled us to detect small lung cancers, which has changed the lung cancer surgery from lobectomy to a lesser lobar resection such as a segmentectomy or wedge resection. While wedge resection is a simple procedure, it has a higher risk of local recurrence of cancer than a lobectomy. On the other hand, segmentectomy is a well known curative surgery for small lung cancers. However, it is difficult to perform accurately because of its anatomical complexity, which makes surgeons hesitant to use it. The book “Illustrated Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer” provides readers a detailed explanation of segmentectomy with numerous easy-to-understand color illustrations showing the precise segmental anatomies for each pattern of the procedure. To better illustrate an accurate anatomical segmentectomy, the text shows details of anatomy during segmentectomy. This can involve up to 25 patterns, each of which is shown in roughly 10 illustrations.

Download or read book Segmental Resection in Early Stage Lung Cancer written by Balasubramanian Venkitaraman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The minimum standard surgical resection required for curative surgical management of carcinoma of lung had been lobectomy, established based on The Lung Cancer Study Group results, published decades earlier. Recent data show similar oncological outcomes for patients undergoing lobar and sublobar resection with proper patient selection. Randomized trials are underway to statistically establish their equivalence. Segmentectomy is a demanding procedure requiring an in-depth understanding of surgical anatomy and its variations and surgical expertise. Many techniques are described, by various specialists, to perform segmental resection, with their own advantages and shortcomings.

Download or read book Outcomes of Care in Elderly Patients with Lung Cancer Treated with Surgery written by Cardinale B. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lung cancer is predominantly a disease of older adults and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the elderly. Current recommendations for surgery are to perform an anatomic lobectomy however, patients who are not candidates for full resection due to impaired pulmonary function or comorbidities are usually treated with a limited resection. However, there is very limited data comparing outcomes of stage I patients treated with these procedures making choices regarding the best surgical approach for patients undergoing limited resection more difficult. Limited resections can be performed via video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS) and have been performed with increasing frequency to treat early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, data supporting these recommendations are inadequate and very few studies focused on the elderly, one of the groups who could benefit the most from VATS, a less aggressive surgical approach. Compelling evidence from several studies suggest that cancer patients whose surgical resections are performed in hospitals with large case volumes have better outcomes than patients treated in hospitals with low case volumes. Similarly, some studies suggest that the case volume of individual surgeons is an equally important determinant of patients’ outcomes. Given that VATS is a relatively new and technically challenging procedure the role of surgeon experience as evidenced by volume and patient outcomes are critical.In this PhD thesis we plan to evaluate survival outcomes of early stage lung cancer patients treated with segmentectomy versus wedge; evaluate differences in outcomes among lung cancer patients undergoing VATS segmentectomy versus open segmentectomy; and evaluate the volume-outcome relationship for surgeons performing VATS.
Download or read book Principles and Practice of Geriatric Surgery written by Ronnie Ann Rosenthal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 1364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the preface to this impressive and well-produced book, the editors state that their aim is not to describe a new surgical specialty, since most surgeons will soon need to be "geriatric surgeons," but to assemble a comprehensive account that will allow "all providers of healthcare to the elderly to understand the issues involved in choosing surgery as a treatment option for their patients." This is a useful book that deserves to do well. I hope that the editors and their publisher will have the stamina to make this the first of several editions, as it is clear that updated information about surgery in the elderly will be required to keep pace with this important field."

Download or read book Non surgical Therapies for Early stage Non small Cell Lung Cancer written by Shahnaz Sultan and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States (US). The majority of lung cancers are diagnosed at advanced stages but with the advent of lung cancer screening, the number of individuals diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer has continued to rise. Within the Veterans Health Administration (VA), approximately 8,000 Veterans are diagnosed with and treated for lung cancer every year. Surgery, including lobectomy, segmentectomy, wedge resection, and sleeve resection with or without the use of minimally invasive approaches, has been considered the standard of care for individuals with early-stage lung cancer who are deemed to be medically operable. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) are frequently offered to individuals considered to be medically inoperable for various reasons (due to advanced age or with comorbidities that place them at high risk for severe perioperative complications). Promising results with SBRT/SABR in patients deemed to be medically inoperable have led to studies evaluating the efficacy and long-term outcomes of this therapy as an alternative to surgery in medically operable patients. These results raise questions about definitive treatment options for early-stage lung cancer. This review addresses important questions regarding the comparative effectiveness of surgery versus SBRT/SABR as well as the current body of evidence for ablative therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, microwave ablation, laser ablation, and brachytherapy in the management of medically operable stage I lung cancer. This topic was nominated by the National Radiation Oncology Program. Additionally, this review provides the background rationale for an ongoing VA Cooperative Study, a randomized trial of surgery versus SBRT (NCT02984761). Findings will be used to inform use of treatment modalities in patients with stage I lung cancer who are deemed medically operable.
