OBJECTIVES: Lobectomy may unnecessarily resect healthy lung parenchyma in Stage 1A non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Segmentectomies may provide a lung-sparing option. VATS segmentectomies can be technically challenging; robotics may have features...
BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that tumor microenvironment (TME) and gene mutations are the main determinants of progression of the deadliest cancer in the world - lung cancer, their interrelations are not well understood. Digital pathology data provid...

According to the limited molecular information reflected by single spectroscopy, and the complementarity of FTIR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, we propose a novel diagnostic technology combining multispectral fusion and deep learning. We used s...
PURPOSE: The accuracy of lymph node (LN) dissection in robotic surgery for lung cancer remains controversial. We compared the accuracy of LN dissection in robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) vs. video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate in the world, twice as high as the second highest. On the other hand, pathologists are overworked and this is detrimental to the time spent on each patient, diagnostic turnaround time, and their ...

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and ROS oncogene 1 (ROS1) gene fusions are well-established key players in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although their frequency is relatively low, their detection is important for patient care and guides thera...
Due to high recurrence rates in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), medical professionals need extremely accurate diagnostic methods to prevent bleak prognoses. However, even the most commonly used diagnostic method, the TNM staging sys...

Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) has been linked to the occurrence of tumors and is implicated in the ferroptosis process. Deep learning has been applied to many areas in health care, including imaging diagnosis, digital patholo...
In this study, we tested and compared radiomics and deep learning-based approaches on the public LUNG1 dataset, for the prediction of 2-year overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer patients. Radiomic features were extracted from the gross...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted lobectomy has been used to treat non-small cell lung cancer and usually uses 3 or 4 ports and 3 or 4 robotic arms. We recently developed a two-port approach for robotic lobectomy using three robotic arms and performed a pro...
