@#Objective To investigate the clinical effect of 3D computed tomography bronchial bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) and guidance of thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy by Mimics software system. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent thoracoscopic segmentectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2020 to December 2022. The patients who underwent preoperative 3D-CTBA using Materiaise's interactive medical image control system (Mimics) were selected as an observation group, and the patients who did not receive 3D-CTBA were selected as a control group. The relevant clinical indicators were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 59 patients were included, including 29 males and 30 females, aged 25-79 years. There were 37 patients in the observation group, and 22 patients in the control group. The operation time (163.0±48.7 min vs. 188.8±43.0 min, P=0.044), intraoperative blood loss [10.0 (10.0, 20.0) mL vs. 20.0 (20.0, 35.0) mL, P<0.001], and preoperative puncture localization rate (5.4% vs. 31.8%, P=0.019) in the observation group were better than those in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the thoracic tube placement time, thoracic fluid drainage volume, number of intraoperative closure nail bin, postoperative hospital stay, or postoperative air leakage incidence (P>0.05) between the two groups. Conclusion For patients who need to undergo anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy, using Mimics software to produce 3D-CTBA before surgery can help accurately identify pulmonary arteriovenous anatomy, reduce surgical time and intraoperative blood loss, help to determine the location of nodules and reduce invasive localization before surgery, and alleviate patients' pain, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

@#Whether anatomical segmentectomy can replace lobectomy in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer remains controversial. A large number of studies have been conducted for decades to explore whether pulmonary segmentectomy can treat early-stage lung cancer, which is actually to explore the indications of intentional segment-ectomy. With the development of scientific researches, it is found that many characteristics affect the malignancy of lung cancer, and the different grades of each characteristic affect the prognosis of patients. It is worth exploring whether different surgical approaches can be used for early-stage lung cancer with different characteristics and different grades. This article reviews the literature and studies to discuss the advances in indications of segmentectomy for early-stage lung in terms of tumor size, consolidation-to-tumor ratio, pathological classification and tumor location, respectively. The objective of this review is to help thoracic surgeons to objectively and scientifically select the surgical method according to the clinical characteristics of early-stage lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the application value of serum auto-antibody detection combined with low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT) in early lung cancer screening. Methods From 12568 medical examination crowd (7453 males and 5115 females), 1324 people with high-risk cases of lung cancer in our medical examination center were divided randomly into three groups (LDCT, serum auto-antibody, and serum auto-antibody combined with LDCT groups). All people in this research were screened by chest X-ray. Follow-up was conducted for one year, and the positive screening and diagnosis rates of early lung cancer screening were compared between these groups of high-risk people with lung cancer. Results The positive screening and diagnostic rates of high-risk lung cancer in the serum auto-antibody combined with LDCT group was significantly higher those that in other two groups (P < 0.001). The specificity and sensitivity of serum auto-antibody combined with LDCT group were 89.1% and 88.4%, respectively; the area under the ROC curve was 0.863. Conclusion Serum auto-antibody detection combined with low-dose spiral CT can significantly improve the positive screening rate of lung cancer in high-risk populations, providing a strong theoretical support for lung cancer screening pathway.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of 3D reconstruction in the single utility-port thoracoscopic segmentectomy of early stage NSCLC by propensity score matching (PSM). Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 150 early stage NSCLC patients undergoing single utility-port thoracoscopic segmentectomy. The patients were divided into reconstruction group (n=58) and non-reconstruction group (n=92) according to 3D reconstruction. PSM was performed on two groups to compare perioperative outcomes. Results Procedures were successfully completed on all patients, without perioperative death. In each group, 43 patients were successfully matched after PSM on the basis of 8 confounding factors, age, gender, smoking status, BMI, maximum tumor diameter on CT, tumor location, % FEV1 and type of planned segmentectomy. After PSM, in complex segmentectomy, the patients in the reconstruction group had shorter operation time (155.77±30.17 vs. 212.94±66.49min, P < 0.001) and less blood loss (46.00±25.94 vs. 88.79±68.36ml, P=0.002), compared with the non- reconstruction group. Conclusion Preoperative 3D reconstruction could help improve the efficiency of single utility-port thoracoscopic surgery for complex segmentectomy and reduce intraoperative bleeding.

@#Segmentectomy is the removal of certain segments of the lung with lesions and retaining the normal lung tissue of the lobe. Lung segmentectomy is considered difficult due to the lack of clear anatomical boundaries between lung segments. Segmentectomy has a variety of indications, such as lung cancer, metastatic lung tumors, and many non-malignant diseases. In the treatment of early stage lung cancer, segmentectomy was initially considered only as a treatment option for patients not suitable for conventional lobectomy. As more evidence emerged, the indications for segmentectomy have continued to change over time, and segmentectomy has been widely performed in patients with early stage lung cancer. Theoretically, segmentectomy leads to better preservation of lung function than lobectomy, but the risk of incomplete tumor resection is higher, so the indication of segmentectomy has become a focus of debate. This article will introduce the surgical techniques of segmentectomy and summarize the published and unpublished clinical studies on segmentectomy for the treatment of early stage lung cancer.
RÉSUMÉ
@#Recently, anatomical segmentectomy emerges as a hot spot in clinical research for surgical treatment of early-stage lung cancer. The techniques of segmentectomy are more elaborate and complicated than lobectomy, because of the considerable anatomic variations of segment blood vessels and bronchus. In a long term, video-assisted thoracic surgery is the mainly minimally invasive approach. As a new approach of minimally invasive surgery, da Vinci robot system possesses three-dimensional and high definition view, better dexterity mechanical wrist and tremor filtering system, which are the main advantages over video-assisted thoracic surgery. All the superiorities of robot system provide good supports for performing segmentectomy. Robot-assisted segmentectomy has been carried out in many medical centers in China and abroad until now. However, most surgery cases often lack adequate controls on quality.

@#With the development of thin section axial computed tomography scan, the detection rate of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGN) continues increasing. GGN has a special natural growth history: pure ground-glass nodules (PGGN) smaller than 10 mm can hold steady for a long term, surgery resection is unnecessary, patients need regular follow up. Larger part solid ground-glass nodules (PSN) with a solid component can be malignant early stage lung cancer, which requires early surgery intervention. Establishment of a standard definition of GGN growth, investments in the long term natural growth history of GGN, validation of the clinical, radiology and genetic risk factors would be beneficial for the management of GGN patients.

Background and purpose:With the development of the three-dimensional (3D) science, minimally invasive technology is going into the 3D period. While 3D laparoscope system has been widely accepted by surgeons because of its better visual effect and safer operations compared to traditional laparoscope system, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of 3D thoracoscope system in minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of thoracic diseases. Methods: A total of 96 cases of thoracic diseases were accomplished with KARL STORZ 3D thoracoscope during Mar. 2014 to Oct. 2014, including 33 cases of lobectomy, 2 cases of segmentectomy, and 10 cases of wedge resection of pulmonary tumor, 27 cases of mediastinal tumor, 20 cases of esophageal tumor and 4 case of esophageal achalasia. The data of operative time, bleeding volume, postoperative chest tube drainage and hospital time and postoperative complications were counted. Results: All the operations were completed successfully, without conversion to open surgery. All the operations cost 30 to 237 min. The operation of local resection lasted 30 to 120 min, with an average of 52 min, the operation of pulmonary lobectomy lasted 63 to 122 min, with an average of 75 min;the operation of mediastinal tumor resection lasted 35 to 125 min, with an average of 77 min;and the operation of esophageal diseases lasted 57 to 237 min, with an average of 189 min. The bleeding volumes were 2 to 85 mL, 15 to 72 mL, 30 to 186 mL and with the average of 50 mL, 47 mL, 118 mL in pulmonary, mediastinal and esophageal operations respectively. The time of postoperative chest tube drainage of each surgery was 1 to 5 days after pulmonary operations, 1 to 3 days after mediastinal operations, and 2 to 6 days after esophageal operations. The postoperative hospital time of pulmonary operation was 2 to 10 days, with an average of 6.3 days;the time of mediastinal operation was 3 to 6 days, with an average of 4.2 days;and the time of esophageal operation was 4 to 19 days, with an average of 13.3 days. No complications and tumor recurrence or metastasis were observed during the followed 3 months. Conclusion: 3D thoracoscope system not only preserves the minimally invasive advantage of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), it can also provide high-definition and stereoscopic vision and better sense of depth which facilitate the operation more precise and safer, thus operation time becomes shorter. Besides, 3D system possesses the advantage of natural vision similar to open surgery, thus it has an easier and shorter learning curve.
RÉSUMÉ
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a newly developed technique currently in clinical use. SBRT originated from stereotactic radiosurgery for intracranial tumors. SBRT has been widely used clinically for lung cancer. The practice of SBRT demands different kinds of patient fixation, breathing control, target determination, treatment planning, and verifications. The history and current standard technique are reviewed. Clinical studies of lung cancer showed high local control rates with acceptable toxicities. Past and on-going clinical trials are reviewed.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and clinical significance of detecting circulating tumor cells(CTCs) in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer in early stage. Methods Three groups of patients (Group A: 15 cases with early stage lung cancer; Group B: 20 cases with benign pulmonary disease; Group C: 20 healthy volunteers) were enrolled for detection of CTCs using immunomagnetic separation(IMS)+ immunocytochemistry(ICC) method and RT-PCR method. The patients in Group A were followed up for 6-9 months. Results By using IMS+ICC it was revealed that in 5 cases of Group A the result was positive, while it was negative in all cases of Group B and Group C. By using RT-PCR method, the result was positive in 7 cases of Group A, 8 cases of Group B and 6 cases of Group C. In the follow-up period, 2 patients of Group A, who were found positive for CTC before and after operation, showed recurrence. Conclusion IMS + ICC method was a sensitive method to detect CTCs in patients with early stage NSCLC. The detection of CTCs in patients with early stage lung cancer might be a relationship with the clinical prognosis of the patient.
