Important progress in surgical treatment of lung cancer in 2023
Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rate in China
and surgical resection is a crucial approach for its treatment. In 2023
significant advancements were made in the field of lung cancer surgery. Firstly
CALGB140503 showed that for peripheral ≤2 cm nodular lung cancer
sublobar resection demonstrated no significant difference in survival rates compared to lobectomy
establishing the foundation for its role in early lung cancer treatment. Secondly
JCOG1211 found that segmentectomy could be used to treat 2-3 cm ground-glass opacity-predominant adenocarcinoma
however
patient in this study may undergo overtreatment
which could potentially be mitigated through intraoperative rapid frozen section pathological examination. Furthermore
the ECTOP-1003 study proposed a selective lymph node dissection strategy based on tumor location and intraoperative rapid frozen section pathological examination
achieving a 100% accuracy rate and providing a more precise approach to lymph node dissection. Additionally
the exploration of the cure time window for lung adenocarcinoma was remarkable
emphasizing the importance of timing in surgical intervention to avoid overtreatment in early lung cancer treatment. Finally
the ECTOP-1008 study demonstrated that high-resolution chest computed tomography (CT) scans assisted in determining the pathological invasion degree of lung cancer
aiding in the precise judgment of curative time window. This review summarized the important research progress in the field of lung cancer surgery in 2023
aiming to provide insights for clinical practice and future trials in lung cancer surgery.
