Comparative Study Clinical TrialIntentional limited resection for small peripheral lung cancer based on intraoperative pathologic exploration.
The aim of this study was to assess the adequacy of our intentional limited resection for small peripheral lung cancer based on intraoperative pathologic exploration. ⋯ Careful selection of patients based on high-resolution computed tomography findings and intraoperative pathologic exploration makes intentional limited resection an acceptable option for the treatment of small peripheral NSCLC.

Case ReportsLate-onset chylothorax after pulmonary resection and systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection for lung cancer.
Late-onset chylothorax occurred 49 days after right lower lobectomy for lung cancer in a 76-year-old man. Chylothorax was successfully managed by conservative treatment with chest tube drainage and an enteral low-fat diet. Chylothorax may occur in the late period after pulmonary resection and systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection for lung cancer, for which conservative management is the treatment of choice.
