Nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy plus lymph node dissection following segmentectomy for central type pulmonary masses

摘要：

IntroductionLung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide.In the United States,it causes more cancer-related deaths than the next four causes (breast cancer,prostate cancer,colon cancer,and pancreatic cancer) of cancer-related mortality combined (1).About 30％ of people have already progressed to stage Ⅲ lung cancer and 40％ to stage Ⅳ at the time they are diagnosed (2).Although chest X-ray and sputum cytology,when applied in health check-ups,can identify some relatively small tumors,they are not able to lower the overall mortality (3).More recently,the low-dose spiral CT scanning reduces the mortality of lung cancer when applied for lung cancer screening (4,5).
