Significance of a new fluorodeoxyglucose-positive lesion on restaging positron emission tomography/computed tomography after induction therapy for non-small-cell lung cancer † [PDF]
OBJECTIVES Restaging of patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is of paramount importance, since only patients with down-staging after induction therapy will benefit from surgery. In this study, we assessed the aetiology of new

Silicosarcoidosis: Histologic and Clinical Features of an Occupational Granulomatous Disease
ABSTRACT Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Growing evidence indicates that occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is associated with an increased incidence of sarcoidosis. Yet a diagnosis of sarcoidosis rarely prompts investigation to identify preventable exposures.

CT texture analysis can help differentiate between malignant and benign lymph nodes in the mediastinum in patients suspected for lung cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma NSCLC the lymph node staging in the mediastinum is important due to impact on management and prognosis. Computed tomography texture analysis (CTTA) is a postprocessing technique that can evaluate

In 55 patients with second primary nonsmall‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC), repeated anatomical video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resections—mostly segmentectomies—were safe and effective. Despite a higher rate of air leak and atrial fibrillation, morbidity and length of stay were similar to initial surgery.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Tracheobronchial Tumors
ABSTRACT Background Primary tracheobronchial tumors (PTBTs) are rare but life‐threatening, accounting for approximately 0.2% of all respiratory neoplasms. Owing to their nonspecific clinical symptoms, PTBTs are often initially misdiagnosed as bronchial asthma or bronchitis in the early stages.
