Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
"Surgical Perspectives in Lung Cancer: From Technique to Outcome" is a Special Issue dedicated to the latest advancements in the surgical management of lung cancer. Recent technological innovations, particularly the widespread adoption of Minimally Invasive Surgery, have dramatically improved patient recovery and long-term outcomes. This issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the entire spectrum of lung cancer surgery, from technical aspects to perioperative management, education, and patient outcomes.
We invite high-quality submissions on a wide range of topics, including cutting-edge techniques like Uniportal VATS and Robotic-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS), the optimization of Perioperative Management with protocols like ERAS, the application of new Energy Devices, and Surgical Education. Our goal is for this issue to serve as a valuable resource for surgeons worldwide, offering new insights into lung cancer surgery. We look forward to your contributions.
