A questionnaire survey was performed to investigate the actual hydration methods used with cisplatin-containing regimens at various institutions in Japan to gain an overview of the varieties employed. Replies were received from 368 of 686 institutions board-certified by the Japanese Respiratory Society. In 233 institutions (63%), new lung cancer patients were treated regularly with regimens containing cisplatin at ≥60 mg/m2. In 172 institutions (48%), hydration with <3000 ml of intravenous saline was performed on day 1. In 225 institutions (65%), hydration was performed for up to 3 days at most, but no more than 48 (14%) of the institutions that responded did so on day 1 only. Two to three weeks of hospitalization was needed for the initial course at most institutions (76%). Thirteen institutions (4%) treated patients as outpatients after the second course, whereas none did so from the beginning of treatment. Despite inconsistencies among the methods used by the various institutions, 84% of those surveyed considered their approaches to be appropriate. Some useful objective indices for deciding the volume or duration of hydration are needed.

Background: RUNX3 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet its specific biological mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to uncover tumor microenvironment (TME) changes in NSCLC with varying RUNX3 expression statuses through single-cell RNA sequencing.
Patients And Methods: In total, seven patients with NSCLC with detailed pathological data were involved, with three both paracancerous and cancerous tissue samples.

Objectives: To quantify intraoperative pulmonary arterial catheter (PAC) use during cardiac surgery and identify hospital-, anesthesiologist-, and patient-level factors associated with PAC utilization.
Design: A cross-sectional, observational study using generalized logistic mixed models to examine variations in PAC use.
Setting: Fifty-three US academic hospitals participating in the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG) national registry PARTICIPANTS: 145,343 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2022.

Mutations in the KRAS gene are prominent oncogenic drivers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with multiple pathophysiological, clinical and prognostic implications. Although historically considered an "undruggable" target, recent research led to the development of specific KRAS-G12C inhibitors, like sotorasib and adagrasib which are currently approved for clinical use in patients affected by advanced NSCLC. However, the clinical utility of these drugs is often limited by resistance development through several biological mechanisms, including additional KRAS mutations, activation of compensatory pathways and metabolic reprogramming.

Background: Up to 70% of lung cancer may be malnourished. This study aims to examine the effects of malnutrition on outcomes in lung cancer patients undergoing resection using modified GLIM criteria.
Methods: The study utilized the mGLIM criteria to identify malnourished patients.

Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-guided imagery relaxation (VRGI) intervention in reducing anxiety among lung cancer surgery patients.
Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Hebei Medical University (Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China) to recruit patients scheduled for their first elective endoscopic lung cancer surgery under general anesthesia between December 2023 and March 2024. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the control group, receiving routine treatment and staged care in thoracic surgery, or the experimental group, receiving VRGI intervention in addition to the control group's protocol.
