Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
We are living in a new era in which progress has involved all branches of oncology and surgery, overturning some of the established cornerstones over the decades.
We aim to publish articles describing novel challenges and advances in thoracic surgery, from minimally invasive and robotic surgery for early or locally advanced lung cancer to more complex cases, including post-neoadjuvant (immuno or biological therapy) surgery. In this Special Issue, we aim to explore electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy, 3D techniques, and medically innovative treatments.
Thanks to the significant advancement of technology (both in surgery and oncology), the advent of artificial intelligence, and the innovation of new drugs in the treatment of lung cancer, in the last 15 days we witnessed an important improvement in the medical care of patients affected by lung cancer, with extraordinary oncological and medical results.
Investigating all new therapeutic and surgical possibilities in the field of thoracic oncology. Evaluating the potential advantages of minimally invasive surgery, target therapy, and immunotherapy in the treatment of early and advanced lung cancer.
We encourage the submission of manuscripts that describe all novel challenges and advances in the treatment of lung cancer, both surgical and medical.
Dr. Antonio Mazzella
