About this Research Topic
Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80% of all lung cancers. Despite advances in therapy, surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment for early-stage NSCLC. Over the past few years, there have been significant advances in surgical techniques for the management of NSCLC. Therefore, there is a need to update the surgical community with the latest updates in the field.
This Research Topic aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the surgical management of NSCLC. We aim to address various aspects of NSCLC management, including surgical techniques, perioperative care, and outcomes. The collection will serve as a valuable resource and platform for thoracic surgeons and oncologists with the aim of improving outcomes for lung cancer patients.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case reports that focus on recent advances in the surgical management of NSCLC. Specifically, we will welcome articles that focus on, but not limited to:
- Advances in surgical techniques such as lobectomy, wedge resection, segmentectomy, and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery
- Perioperative care and outcomes
- The role of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy in the surgical management of NSCLC
Please note: manuscripts consisting solely of bioinformatics, computational analysis, or predictions of public databases which are not accompanied by validation (independent cohort or biological validation in vitro or in vivo) will not be accepted in any of the sections of Frontiers in Oncology.
