Article Abstract
Over the past 20 years, several innovative therapies have been implemented in the treatment of lung cancer that have had reported survival benefits in clinical trials. Whether these improvements translate into the clinic setting has not been studied yet. We retrospectively analyzed all patients consecutively treated at Institute Curie for metastatic lung cancer. Diagnosis date was used to define three periods, based on the approvals of novel treatment strategies in the first-line setting, including targeted therapies in 2010 and immunotherapy in 2018. Endpoints included Overall survival (OS), survival rate of 2 years and 5 years, and a conditional survival rate of 2 years (if still alive at 6 months from treatment initiation). A total of 673 patients were identified for Period 1-2000 to 2009, 752 for Period 2-2010 to 2017, and 768 for Period 3-2018 to 2020. Median OS in the whole cohort was 11.1, 15.5, and 16.2 months, respectively. Median OS for patients with NSCLC or SCLC was 11.2, 17.2, and 18.2 months, or 10.9, 11.7, and 11.2 months, respectively. The two-year conditional survival was more favorable for NSCLC than SCLC patients. Outcomes were statistically higher for women as compared to men in all periods and all subgroups. Survival of patients with metastatic lung cancer has improved over the past 20 years, mostly in NSCLC, along with the implementation of novel treatment strategies.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as the pioneering approach for the most complex of pulmonary resections, offering high-definition 3D visualization, enhanced instrument augmentation and tremor-free tissue articulation. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform is associated with reduced peri-operative morbidity, shorter hospital admissions and faster patient recovery. However, sublobar resections such as segmentectomies remain anatomically and technically demanding, particularly in the context of resecting multiple segments, as showcased in this right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as a leading technique for undertaking the most complex pulmonary resections, providing high-definition 3D visualization, advanced instrument control and tremor-free tissue handling. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform offers reduced peri-operative complications, shorter hospital stays and faster patient recovery. Nevertheless, sublobar resections, such as segmentectomies, remain both anatomically intricate and technically challenging, particularly when resecting multiple segments, as in this left S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Despite significant advancements in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using conventional therapeutic methods, drug resistance remains a major factor contributing to disease recurrence. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential benefits of combining PI3K inhibition with Cisplatin in the context of NSCLC-derived A549 cells. Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were cultured and treated with BKM120, cisplatin, or their combination.

Purpose: To develop and validate an integrated model based on MR high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) radiomics and clinical features to preoperatively assess periprocedural complications (PC) risk in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) undergoing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS).
Methods: This multicenter retrospective study enrolled 601 PTAS patients (PC+, n = 84; PC -, n = 517) from three centers. Patients were divided into training (n = 336), validation (n = 144), and test (n = 121) cohorts.
