Abstract This study aims to predict the histological invasiveness of pulmonary adenocarcinoma spectrum manifesting with subsolid nodules ≦ 3 cm using preoperative CT-based radiomic approach. A total 186 patients 203 SSNs confirmed surgically pathologic proof were retrospectively reviewed from February 2016 March 2020 for training cohort modeling. The validation included 50 subjects 57 April August 2020. features extracted an open-source software 3D nodular volume segmentation manually....
Background Owing to the widespread opportunistic LDCT screening leading increased overdiagnosis in Asian countries, such as South Korea, mainland China, and Taiwan, this study seeks analyze divergence SSN prevalence between Eastern Western nations, focusing on influence of growing trend, notably among females.
To compare the diagnostic performance of radiomic analysis with machine learning (ML) model a convolutional neural network (CNN) in differentiating thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) from other prevascular mediastinal (PMTs). A retrospective study was performed patients PMTs and undergoing surgical resection or biopsy National Cheng Kung University Hospital, Tainan, Taiwan, E-Da Kaohsiung, Kaohsiung Veterans General Taiwan between January 2010 December 2019. Clinical data including age, sex,...
Prediction of subsolid nodule (SSN) interval growth is crucial for clinical management and decision making in lung cancer screening program. To the best our knowledge, no study has investigated whether volume doubling time (VDT) an independent factor predicting SSN growth, or its predictive power better than that traditional semantic methods, such as nodular diameter type. This aimed to investigate VDT could provide added value long-term natural course SSNs (<3 cm) regarding stage shift.
This study aimed to investigate the time trend variation in surgical volume and prognostic outcome of patients with lung cancer after gradual prolonged implementation a low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening program.Using hospital-based registry data on number deaths from 2008 2017, we conducted retrospective using cohort relationship between changes volume, proportion lung-sparing surgery, outcomes LDCT program recent years.From 3251 were diagnosed according registry. The 5-year...
Patients with persistent pulmonary subsolid nodules have a relatively high incidence of lung adenocarcinoma. Preoperative early diagnosis invasive adenocarcinoma spectrum lesions could help avoid extensive advanced cancer management and overdiagnosis in screening programs.
Background: This study compares the surgical and long-term outcomes, including disease-free survival (DFS), overall (OS), cancer-specific (CSS), between lobe-specific lymph node dissection (L-SND) systematic (SND) among patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: In this retrospective study, 107 diagnosed clinical NSCLC undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy (exclusion of right middle lobe) from January 2011 to December 2018 were enrolled. The assigned...
Abstract Background This retrospective study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of one-stage computed tomography (OSCT)- that two-stage (TSCT)-guided localization for surgical removal small lung nodules. Methods We collected data from patients with ipsilateral pulmonary nodules who underwent before at Veteran General Hospital Kaohsiung between October 2017 January 2022. The were divided into OSCT TSCT groups. Results found significantly reduced time risky compared TSCT, success rate...
Abstract Background Post-operative survival of esophageal cancer patients has improved with advances in technology and treatment modalities. However, squamous cell carcinoma often affects the esophagus together head neck regions, second primary (SPHNC) adversely influencing patients’ quality life. Therefore, (ESCC) should be carefully followed up post-operatively. This study evaluated risk developing SPHNCs after an esophagectomy for ESCC. Methods Patients ESCC who underwent curative from...
Abstract We present the case of a 60‐year‐old female patient with no prior history any systemic disease. She suffered from prolonged cough that lasted more than 3 months, associated poor appetite and weight loss 5 kg. The pathology report pre‐operative transbronchial needle biopsy was consistent neurogenic tumour. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed right lower lobe (RLL) mass‐like consolidation 8.67 cm obstructive pneumonitis suspicious posterior mediastinal invasion. tumour surgically...
Bronchoscopic cryotherapy has been considered as one of the optional interventions for unresectable malignant central airway obstruction (CAO). And it provides high safety and effectiveness in patency re-establishment. This report describes interventional bronchoscopic a patient with CAO caused by squamous cell carcinoma esophagus. We display series dramatic change chest radiographs before after intervention.A 70-year-old man middle third esophagus (initial staging, pT2N0M0; stage IIB;...
Pleomorphic carcinoma (PC) of lung, a rare malignant lung tumor, is predominated in male smokers with over 65 years age. The clinical presentations PC are various including chest pain, cough, and dyspnea so on. Asymptomatic patients have been also reported. In our case, female non-smoker middle age, who initially developed symptoms like empyema was diagnosed advanced PC. Poor progression occurred this patient within one month from diagnosis to expiration. lesson case that malignancy such as...
Objectives Patients with lung cancer pose a high risk of morbidity and mortality after resection. Those who receive perioperative cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (PRCR) have better prognosis. Peak oxygen consumption (peak VO 2 ), at the ventilatory threshold (VO VT), slope minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production (V E /V CO2 slope) measured during pre-surgical exercise testing (CPET) prognostic values We aimed investigate influence individualized PRCR on postoperative complications in...
Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor and accounts for about 1% of the vascular tumor. The most common site lower extremities, retroperitoneum/pelvis fossa, head neck. Mediastinum origin especially with neuroforamen invasion. Herein, we presented case 71-year-old woman primary mediastinal mass progressive enlargement. She was treated by total T4 laminectomy partial T3 + T5 intraspinal removal exploratory thoracotomy resection under postoperative radiotherapy at our Oncology Department. well...
