| Description | Recent advances in the surgical treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have focused heavily on making procedures less invasive, less radical, and better tolerated. Advances in accuracy and increased utilization of cross-sectional imaging allows for diagnosis of smaller and more indolent tumors and preinvasive lesions. Similar to advanced disease, early-stage treatment is now being tailored to individual patients and their tumors. Sublobar resections are gaining acceptance as an oncologically equivalent approach to lobectomy in well-selected stage I patients. Minimally invasive approaches either by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted thoracic surgery are becoming the procedures of choice for anatomic NSCLC resections and provide decreased perioperative complications and increased tolerability, especially in the elderly and medically high-risk patients. Reports of even less invasive techniques including uniportal VATS and nonintubated lobar resections are now appearing in the literature. |
