Sleeve Lobectomy for Lung Cancer in Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell
In brief
The goal of this multicenter observational study is to evaluate the long-term survival and perioperative outcomes of sleeve lobectomy in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for patients with central lung cancer when compared with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) approach, both of which have been already applied to these patients in minimally invasive surgical techniques as part of their regular medical care recently. The main question it aims to answer is: Are RATS sleeve lobectomy associated with similar or even better long-term survival and perioperative outcomes for patients with central lung cancer when compared with the VATS approach?
