Lung cancer surgery has evolved significantly, with minimally invasive techniques now standard for complex resections. This review covers surgical history, staging, and modern treatment approaches for lung cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • The past 30 years have seen transformative changes in lung cancer surgical resection.
  • Minimally invasive lobectomy emerged in the early 1990s, driving technological advancements.
  • Current practices involve complex resections like sleeve resection, chest wall resection, and pneumonectomy using robotic or minimally invasive methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the historical evolution of minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer.
  • To review current lung cancer staging guidelines and treatment paradigms.
  • To present the modern approach to surgical care for lung cancer patients.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of surgical techniques and technological advancements.
