Abstract
Surgery remains the mainstay for the treatment of lung cancer. While pulmonary resection has been safe for years, there is a trend toward minimally invasive (VATS) pulmonary resections. Studies have now shown that standard complete cancer operations performed via VATS offer patients a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery without compromising the cure rate for an operation performed via a thoracotomy.Entities:
