Prognostic Factors Related to Postoperative Survival in the Newly Classified Clinical T4 Lung Cancer

This manuscript by Yamanashi et al retrospectively looks into the outcome of patients with newly classified clinical T4 lung cancer. They report 93 patients who underwent surgical treatment during a 10-year study period. They identified several risk factors and conclude that “surgery should be considered if there is no suspicion of N2 disease and complete resection is technically feasible.”
