Predictive Value of Circulating Tumor Cells in Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy for Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 9, May 2026.
Preoperative CK+ CTC monitoring may serve as a promising adjunct to conventional imaging for predicting pathological response in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. Our exploratory findings suggest that systemic CTC dissemination is associated with a microenvironmental convergence of local hypoxia and attenuated immune signaling ...

Evaluating the Role of Advanced Age and Risk Factors in Postoperative Outcomes Following Major Lung Cancer Resection

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 9, May 2026.
In elderly lung cancer patients, perioperative risk is driven more by performance status, pulmonary reserve, and serum albumin than by age > 80 years. ABSTRACT Background The incidence of lung cancer increases with age. On average, patients diagnosed with lung cancer are about 70 years.

Exercise‐induced dynamic hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 5, Page 2476-2484, 1 May 2026.
Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary vasculature lead to increased resistive, elastic and threshold loads and impaired capacity of the respiratory muscle pump. COPD

Meta-analysis of subxiphoid approach versus lateral approach for thoracoscopic Thymectomy

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background Compared with traditional open surgery for thymectomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) reduces hospital stay, decreases postoperative pain, and recovers faster. VATS has become increasingly popular in the past decade.

Can a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule With Positive PET Scan in a Heavy Smoker be Something Other Than Lung Cancer? A Case Report of Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in a heavy smoker patient is commonly considered a lung cancer. However, in endemic regions, differential diagnosis should include pulmonary hydatid cyst. We present a 65‐year‐old heavy smoker male with a 5 cm SPN. He had negative serology, and inconclusive PET‐CT. So, it mimicked malignancy.

Unraveling the role of ectopic thymic tissue in patients undergoing thymectomy for myasthenia gravis [PDF]

, 2019
Extended thymectomy has been considered the goal of surgery for myasthenia gravis (MG) mainly due to the existence of ectopic thymic tissue. Recently, ectopic thymic tissue has attracted increasing attention in patients with MG following thymectomy ...

Minimally Invasive Thoracoscopic Resection of a Giant Right‐Atrial Lipoma on the Beating Heart: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary cardiac lipomas are rare benign tumors that are usually indolent but may cause compression or arrhythmia when large. We sought to describe the safety and feasibility of a totally thoracoscopic, off‐pump approach for their resection. A 33‐year‐old asymptomatic woman was found to have a 5.1 × 3.6 cm fat‐density mass at the roof of the ...
