Abstract

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths within the United States (National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program 2021a). Overall survival (OS) remains dismal at 21% at 5 years (National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program 2021b). Treatments for lung cancer include multiple modalities, including surgical resection, systemic treatment (chemotherapy or immunotherapy), and radiation, and depends on clinical staging. For early-stage lung cancers, stage I and II, surgery remains the preferred treatment and provides the best opportunity for curative intent. Surgical indications also extend to a portion of patients with stage IIIA disease (Lang-Lazdunski 2013) but this will not be discussed in this chapter.
