Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Pancoast tumors, located in the superior sulcus, pose significant surgical challenges due to their proximity to vital structures.
  • Existing surgical approaches for these tumors have limitations, necessitating innovative techniques.

Purpose:

  • To present two unique surgical approaches for treating Pancoast tumors.
  • To describe specific surgical techniques employed in managing complex cases of superior sulcus tumors.

Summary:

  • Case 1 involved a 38-year-old male with an anterior apical tumor invading ribs, treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, extracorporeal radiation, and a modified anterior approach with median sternotomy and clavicular resection.
  • Case 2 featured a 65-year-old male with a superior sulcus tumor involving bronchial and vascular anomalies, managed with a combined Shaw-Paulson incision and lateral thoracotomy for upper lobectomy and lymph node dissection.
