Our study investigates treatment profiles in octogenarian patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and assesses each treatment's role in a stage-specific manner. Patient data from individuals with SCLC aged 80 years and older between 1988 and 2015 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result Program (SEER) database were extracted. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) between patients with no t...

Pleurectomy/decortication serves as a major component of therapy for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), but the procedure is time consuming. We tentatively applied carbon dioxide (CO2) blower into pleurectomy/decortication for a patient with local relapse of MPM. The blower can help increase the potential subpleural place thanks to the positive pressure by CO2, while the mist of saline could cl...

To reduce the frequency of data exchange in power grid, a novel self-triggered consensus-based optimization algorithm for economic dispatch problem (EDP) is proposed for switching topologies, which guarantees that the increment cost converges to an optimal consensus value after iterations. In this brief, sampled-data framework is employed to complete the implementation of algorithm digitally. Bas...

The incidence of lung cancer in China ranks first and second among men and women respectively. Meanwhile, lung cancer is also the leading cause of death in malignant tumors in China. Surgical treatment is of great significance in improving the prognosis of patients with lung cancer, and the number of related clinical trials is increasing year by year. Through a retrospective review of clinical tri...

This study aims to investigate the oncological outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) left upper tri-segmentectomy (LTS) versus left upper lobectomy (LUL) for patients presenting with stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A retrospective analysis identified 1543 consecutive patients presenting to Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital with NSCLC for VATS-LTS or LUL from 2013-2017. After propen...

Background Surgery and radiotherapy are considered local therapies for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The present study aimed to select candidates for surgery as local therapy among patients with stage I or II SCLC, based on the eighth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer. Method Patients diagnosed with SCLC between 2004 and 2013 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, And...
