The T descriptor of thymic epithelial tumours proposed by the International Association for Study Lung Cancer and Thymic Malignancy Interest Group as well Masaoka-Koga system is defined anatomical extent primary tumours, regardless their size. However, prognostic significance tumour size in has not been fully elucidated.We evaluated 154 consecutive patients with including 124 thymomas, 21 carcinomas 9 neuroendocrine who underwent complete resection between 2001 2014.Among all median was 4.9...
The tumour–node–metastasis classification has been widely used as a guide for estimating prognosis, and is the basis treatment decisions in patients with malignant tumours. International Association Study of Lung Cancer Staging Prognostic Factors Committee Thymic Malignancy Interest Group have proposed new staging system thymic malignancies. However, its validity not fully established. In this study, we assessed system's utilities drawbacks. We reviewed 154 consecutive epithelial tumours who...
Little is known about the relationship between preoperative physical fitness and postoperative pneumonia after lung resection. We examined association 6-min walk distance (6MWD) pneumonia. A retrospective study was conducted on patients with malignant tumours who were scheduled to undergo resection at Nagoya University Hospital from January 2014 December 2015. Preoperative pulmonary function tests test assessed. logistic regression model receiver operating characteristic curves used analyse...
Abstract Background Despite the associations of both preoperative sarcopenia and physical performance with post‐operative mortality in non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC), there have been no comprehensive studies impact status on prognosis. This study was performed to investigate prognostic significance NSCLC. Methods retrospective cohort NSCLS patients undergoing curative resection at a university hospital between January 2014 December 2017. The were divided into four groups according...
Stage III–IV thymic squamous cell carcinoma in complete pathological remission achieved with cancer resection after immunotherapy combined chemotherapeutic conversion therapy: a report of two cases from real-world data
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the clinical practice of lung cancer surgery in Japan, but few studies have revealed real situation surgical for this country. This latest information will help us to decide future direction under circumstances.
With the recent improvements in diagnostic accuracy of radiographic modalities, it might be an option to perform therapeutic surgery without a definitive diagnosis for selected patients with suspected lung cancer based on findings imaging. Between April 2008 and December 2012, all nodules were classified into five categories according probability imaging: Category 1 (Benign), 2 (Probably benign), 3 (Intermediate), 4 (Suspected malignancy) 5 (Highly suggestive malignancy). In this study, 232...
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the detectability recurrence and prognostic significance serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels in patients with completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Five hundred eighteen NSCLC who underwent complete resection at Aichi Cancer Center between April 2001 March 2006 were enrolled study. patient characteristics as follows: median age 63 years; 331 tumours classified pathological stage I, 88 II 99 III; 140 adenocarcinomas...
The diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is an indicator damage. We sought to determine whether DLCO associated with aggressiveness adenocarcinoma using histopathological indexes, such as tumour differentiation, scar grade, nuclear atypia and mitotic index.Fifty-seven patients low (≤80% predicted) 466 normal (>80% who underwent R0 resection between 2005 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. relationships status each index well overall survival evaluated.Low had significant...
The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility metabolic parameters on fluorine-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/computed (CT) for predicting lymph node (LN) metastasis in patients with cN2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).We retrospectively reviewed who underwent surgery NSCLC between 2007 and 2020. Those had clinically diagnosed positive hilar mediastinal LNs by routine CT PET/CT imaging were investigated. To measure LNs, data according...
Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm of subendothelial origin that can be found in all anatomical locations, but rarely the lungs. A 71-year old female was referred to our hospital because increase size solitary pulmonary mass. Chest contrast-enhanced dynamic computed tomography showed well-circumscribed lobulated mass measuring 3.1 × 1.6 cm posterior segment right upper lobe lung. Positron emission with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) demonstrated had high FDG uptake....
We sought to determine the short- and long-term prognoses among 'marginal-risk' non-small cell lung cancer patients who have a predicted postoperative- (ppo) forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) of 30-60% and/or ppo-diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) 30-60%. The present study included 73 318 'normal-risk' underwent anatomical resection clinical stage I between 2008 2012. rates postoperative morbidity, prolonged hospital stay, overall survival were assessed....
We have developed a surgical navigation system that presents virtual thoracoscopic images using computed tomography (CT) image data, as if you are observing intra-thoracic cavity in synchronization with the real view. Using this system, we made it possible to simultaneously visualize 'area of lung cancer before induction therapy' and 'optimal resection line for obtaining safe margin' applied clinical setting operations patients chest wall invasion after chemoradiotherapy.The proposed...
Micro-computed tomography (µCT) provides extremely high-resolution images of samples and can be employed as a non-destructive inspection tool. Using µCT, we obtain comparable with microscopic images. In this work, have attempted to take the human lung using µCT. Compared clinical computed (HRCT) living body (in-vivo imaging), by µCT ex-vivo tissues (resected lungs) three-dimensional data. The purpose study was distinguish between areas normal cancer in order feasibility diagnosis novel...
