Abstract:
With the emergence of new concepts and new technologies, the mode of diagnosis and treatment of thoracic surgery in China has changed greatly. Under this background, Chinese thoracic surgery ushered in its "golden age" . This paper expounds the new challenges of thoracic surgery in China from many aspects, and points out that with the advent of precision medicine and modern science and technology, thoracic surgery will continue to develop rapidly. We should seize the opportunity, further expand our advantages, and strive to create a new era of Chinese thoracic surgery.
