The aim of this study was to validate the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) residual tumor classification in patients with stage III-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (nCCRT) followed by surgery. ⋯ The IASLC R classification has prognostic relevance in patients with stage III-N2 NSCLC undergoing nCCRT followed by surgery. The IASLC classification will improve the thoroughness of intraoperative nodal assessment and the completeness of resection.

Meta Analysis
Local Anesthesia Versus General Anesthesia in Percutaneous Interlaminar Endoscopic Discectomy: A Meta-analysis.
The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of local anesthesia (LA) and general anesthesia (GA) in percutaneous interlaminar endoscopic discectomy (PIED). ⋯ LA can effectively relieve pain during PIED surgery and ensure the safety of operation without increasing the occurrence of postoperative complications. PIED under LA not only has similar patient satisfaction but also shows obvious advantages in shortening hospital stay and reducing hospital costs compared with GA surgery.
