The oncologic efficacy of extended thoracic resections

Sarah Kader et al. J Surg Oncol. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

Locally invasive lung cancers pose unique challenges for management. Surgical resection of these tumors can pose high morbidity due to the invasion into surrounding structures, including the spine, chest wall, and great vessels. With advances in immunotherapy and chemoradiation, the role for radical resection of these malignancies and associated oncologic outcomes is evolving. This article reviews the current literature of extended thoracic resections with a focus on technical approach, functional outcomes, and oncologic efficacy.

Keywords: extended resection; lung cancer; thoracic oncology; thoracic surgery.
