Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of “Surgical Treatment for Lung Cancer” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/OCI9E8DS6I) and is being launched following the success of the first edition, which included five high-quality articles.
Despite significant progress, lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. This Special Issue will explore advancements and ongoing challenges in the surgical treatment of lung cancer. Our aim is to showcase high-quality research that addresses current limitations and reimagines surgical practices to improve patient outcomes.
This Special Issue will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including, but not limited to, surgical techniques, perioperative care, and multimodality treatment. We will discuss minimally invasive surgery (video- and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery), the role, limitations, and technical advancements of segmental resections, and surgical treatment in advanced lung cancer. Additionally, we will focus on the role of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in preventing postoperative complications and the integration of immunotherapy with surgery to improve lung cancer treatment results. We encourage submissions that provide insights into overcoming core problems, such as the limitations of existing surgical methods and the effective combination of multimodal therapies. By bringing together leading experts and the latest research, this Special Issue will advance the standards of surgical care in lung cancer treatment and foster collaborations that lead to transformative clinical practices.
We invite researchers and clinicians to contribute original research articles and reviews that reflect the current state of the art and pave the way for future innovations in lung cancer surgery.
