Spontaneous ventilation video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for octogenarian non-small cell lung cancer patients: a non-inferiority study.

Background: The benefits of spontaneous ventilation (SV)-video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in octogenarian patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have rarely been reported. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the safety and feasibility of SV-VATS in octogenarian patients with NSCLC.

Methods: Patients with NSCLC aged >80 years who underwent SV-VATS or mechanical ventilation (MV)-VATS between 2017 and 2022 were included in this study.

Exposure-lag response of surface net solar radiation on lung cancer incidence: a global time-series analysis.

Background: Recently, the impact of solar radiation (RAD) on diseases worldwide has garnered growing attention. However, the association between RAD and lung cancer remains largely unknow and no consensus has been reached. The aim of this study was to investigate the lag exposure-response of RAD on lung cancer and provide robust scientific evidence for updating prevention and treatment strategies of lung cancer.

Light at night and lung cancer risk: A worldwide interdisciplinary and time-series study.

Background: Light at night (LAN) has become a concern in interdisciplinary research in recent years. This global interdisciplinary study aimed to explore the exposure-lag-response association between LAN exposure and lung cancer incidence.

Methods: LAN data were obtained from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's Operational Linescan System.

[Results of Lung Cancer Screening with Low-dose Computed Tomography and Exploration of Risk Factors in Guangzhou].

Background: Both of lung cancer incidence and mortality rank first among all cancers in China. Previous lung cancer screening trials were mostly selective screening for high-risk groups such as smokers. Non-smoking women accounted for a considerable proportion of lung cancer cases in Asia.
