Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This collection is the second edition of the Special Issue “The Role of Surgery in Thoracic Cancers ” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/surgery_thoracic).
Innovative systemic treatments, minimally invasive thoracic surgery approaches, and perioperative medicine have changed the role of surgery in the treatment of thoracic cancer. Thanks to advances in diagnostic imaging, pre-invasive and early-stage lung cancer can be detected, and minimally invasive approaches and innovative image-guided resection are actively used. Additionally, long-term survival from advanced and metastatic tumors has been ensured by multidisciplinary treatment. Since lung cancer is the most common chronic disease among thoracic cancers, complete oncological resection must be performed with a view to preserving lung tissue and maintaining lung function in preparation for future disease progression. Surgery may also be worthwhile if a relapse occurs or because of the palliative condition chosen. This Special Issue entitled “The Role of Surgery in Thoracic Cancers” discusses the current role and future prospects of surgery in thoracic cancer treatment.
