Opinions on the reclassification of pulmonary adenocarcinoma in situ in the fifth edition of WHO classification of thoracic tumours / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#Pulmonary adenocarcinoma in situ is reclassified as precursor glandular lesions in the fifth edition of WHO classification of thoracic tumours, causing widespread attention and heated debate among domestic thoracic oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and surgeons. We would like to comment on the topic and make a few suggestions on the management of pulmonary nodule during lung cancer screening. We are open to all suggestion and welcome debates.

Current status and prospective of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors for resectable non-small cell lung cancer / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#Surgery remains as the primary definitive therapy for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) currently. However, quite a few NSCLC patients, especially in the later stage, suffered tumor recurrence after resection. Safer and more effective perioperative treatment is urgently needed to reduce the recurrence risk after NSCLC surgery. Immune checkpoint inhibitors can effectively prevent tumor immune evasion and have been shown to be a feasible, safe and effective neoadjuvant therapy for resectable NSCLC. Nevertheless, certain crucial problems, including the final effect on NSCLC recurrence, the selection of beneficial group and optimal treatment protocol are yet unsolved. Fortunately, several phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trials are ongoing to answer these questions and will hopefully provide stronger evidence.
