Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy versus open or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: Objective 1: to assess the effects of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy versus conventional open lobectomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Objective 2: to appraise full economic evaluations comparing robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with open lobectomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy for early-stage NSCLC by extracting data on resource use, costs, utilities, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) from societal and healthcare perspectives.
