Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Recent randomized data support the perioperative benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its utility for cT4 tumours remains understudied. We, therefore, sought to analyse national trends and outcomes of minimally invasive resections for cT4 cancers.
