Comparison of the surgical outcomes of thoracoscopic lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection for clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

TLDR
The outcomes of VATS lobectomy and segmentectomy procedures for clinical stage I NSCLC were equivalent, while the outcome for VATS wedge resection was inferior.

Minichromosome maintenance-7 and geminin are reliable prognostic markers in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma: immunohistochemical study.

TLDR
This study aimed to analyze the expression of MCM7 and geminin to clarify pathobiological significance in human oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) and found that the survival rate was significantly lower in patients with a higherMCM7 LI than in those with a lower LI at stage III-IV, but the survival rates were significantly higher at stage IV.

Small cell lung cancer tumors and preclinical models display heterogeneity of neuroendocrine phenotypes.

TLDR
SCLC tumors and cell lines can exhibit distinct inter-tumor heterogeneity with respect to expression of NE features and these findings have major clinical implications as the two subtypes are predicted to have very different responses to targeted therapies.

Mediastinal Nodal Involvement in Patients with Clinical Stage I Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Possibility of Rational Lymph Node Dissection

TLDR
It would be acceptable to perform selective LND in patients with c-stage I NSCLC with ground glass opacity- predominant tumor, and an elevated preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen level showed significant associations with upper mediastinal lymph node metastasis in the patients with bilateral lower-lobe primary lung adenocarcinoma.

Case of thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy for lung cancer with tracheal bronchus and a pulmonary vein variation

TLDR
Since tracheal bronchus is often accompanied by pulmonary vessel variations and may be associated with repeated previous infections, care should be taken when performing thoracoscopic lung resection.

Mediastinal lymph node carcinoma of an unknown primary site: clinicopathological examination

TLDR
Radical resection of mediastinal lymph node carcinoma with an unknown primary site has the possibility of a good prognosis and is important to perform a biopsy to make an accurate diagnosis and then administer radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy postoperatively.

Podoplanin Expression in Cancer-associated Fibroblasts Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung.

TLDR
Podoplanin expression in CAFs might be an independent unfavorable prognostic indicator in patients with lung SCC, irrespective of the expression status of tumor cells.
