Impact of surgical approach on 90-day mortality after lung resection for nonsmall cell lung cancer in high-risk operable patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is often associated with compromised lung function. Real-world data on the impact of surgical approach in NSCLC patients with compromised lung function are still lacking. The objective of this study is to assess the potential impact of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) on 90-day post-operative mortality after anatomic lung resection in high-risk operable NSCLC patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective multicentre study including all patients who underwent anatomic lung resection between January 2010 and October 2021 and registered in the Epithor database. High-risk patients were defined as those with a forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV₁) or diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D_LCO</
