[Propensity Score Matching Analysis of VATS Lobectomy and Sublobar Resection for Stage I Lung Adenocarcinoma].
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) anatomical lobectomy as the first choice for the treatment of resectable lung cancer. However, sublobar resection offers significantly better functional preservation compared with lobectomy for stage I lung cancer. At present, the inferiority of sublobar resection to lobectomy is still uncertain. Herein, we compared the prognoses of these two types of surgical treatment for stage I lung adenocarcinoma. ⋯ Sublobar resection could achieve a similar prognosis to VATS lobectomy for stage Ia lung adenocarcinoma. Lobectomy should still be the first choice for the treatment of stage Ib lung adenocarcinoma.

[Gene Expression and Clinical Characteristics of Molecular Targeted Therapy in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients in Shandong].
Molecular targeted therapy has gradually become an important treatment for lung cancer, the aim of this research is to analyze the clinicopathologic features associated with the gene mutation status of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK), ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and determine the most likely populations to benefit from molecular target therapy treatment. ⋯ EGFR, EML4-ALK, ROS1 and KRAS defines different molecular subset of NSCLC with distinct characteristic, which provides a new option for the clinical treatment of patients with NSCLC.
