[Role of Postoperative Radiotherapy for Stage I/II/III Thymic Tumor - Results of the ChART Retrospective Database].
Postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for thymic tumor is still controversial. The object of the study is to evaluate the role of PORT for stage I/II/III thymic tumor. ⋯ The current retrospective study indicated that PORT after incomplete resection could improve OS and DFS for patients with stage I/II/III thymic tumor. But for those after complete resection, PORT may not help improve prognosis on the whole. .

Comparative Study[Comparison Study of Post-operative Pain and Short-term Quality of Life between Uniportal and Three Portal Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery for Radical Lung Cancer Resection].
In the recent years, uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (uniportal-VATS) is developing rapidly on the basis of traditional three portal VATS and has been applied for radical resection of lung cancer, its superiority on the clinical application compared with traditional VATS is also become the focus of the attention, the aim of this study is to preliminary investigate the effect of uniportal -VATS on post-operative pain and short-term quality of life. ⋯ Compared with 3P-VATS, uniportal-VATS radical lobectomy could reduce post-operative pain and improve short-term postoperative quality of life, it has practical clinical value in surgical therapy of lung cancer .

[Computed Tomography Guided Hook-wire Precise Localization and Minimally Invasive Resection of Pulmonary Nodules].
Localization of pulmonary ground glass nodule is the technical difficulty of minimally invasive operation resection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of computed tomography (CT)-guided Hook-wire precise localization in resection of pulmonary nodules by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) as well as to discuss the necessity and feasibility of surgical resection of GGOs through a minimally invasive approach. ⋯ The preoperative CT-guided Hook-wire localization for pulmonary nodules particularly for GGOs is an effective and safe technique to assist VATS resection of the nodules. It can increase the ratio of lung wedge resection with little complications and may be better used in clinical diagnosis and treatment of small pulmonary nodules with VATS. Lung mGGOs carry a high risk of malignancy. Aggressive surgical resection of these mGGOs is necessary and feasible.

[Density and SUV ratios from PET/CT in the detection of mediastinal lymph node metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer].
Mediastinal involvement in lung cancer is a highly significant prognostic factor for survival, and accurate staging of the mediastinum will correctly identify patients who will benefit the most from surgery. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has become the standard imaging modality for the staging of patients with lung cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate 18-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT imaging in the detection of mediastinal disease in lung cancer. ⋯ Node/aorta density ratio and SUV ratio may be complimentary to conventional visual interpretation and SUVmax measurement. The use of lymph node's short axis, lymph node's SUVmax, and both ratios in combination is better than either conventional PET/CT analysis or PET/CT comprehensive analysis in the assessment of mediastinal disease in NSCLC patients. .
