Background/UNASSIGNED:Evidence of the optimal surgery strategy for early stage metachronous second primary lung cancer (SPLC) has been limited and controversial. This study aims to compare the survival outcomes of different extents of resection and lymph node evaluation in these patients. Methods/UNASSIGNED:Early stage metachronous SPLC patients, who had received lobectomy for initial primary lung cancer (IPLC) and developed SPLC more than 3 months later, were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database according to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guideline. Overall survival (OS) and lung cancer-specific survival (CSS) of different extents of resection and lymph node evaluation were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression model. Results/UNASSIGNED:. 64.7%, P<0.001) compared with an examined lymph node number <10. The survival benefits of lobectomy and examined lymph node number ≥10 were further validated in multivariate Cox regression and subgroup analysis stratified by tumor size. Conclusions/UNASSIGNED:Lobectomy and thorough lymph node evaluation provided significantly longer survival, and thus should be considered for early stage metachronous SPLC whenever possible.

Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale1-3. Here we report the integrative analysis of 2,658Â whole-cancer genomes and their matching normal tissues across 38 tumour types from the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We describe the generation of the PCAWG resource, facilitated by international data sharing using compute clouds. On average, cancer genomes contained 4-5Â driver mutations when combining coding and non-coding genomic elements; however, in around 5% of cases no drivers were identified, suggesting that cancer driver discovery is not yet complete. Chromothripsis, in which many clustered structural variants arise in a single catastrophic event, is frequently an early event in tumour evolution; in acral melanoma, for example, these events precede most somatic point mutations and affect several cancer-associated genes simultaneously. Cancers with abnormal telomere maintenance often originate from tissues with low replicative activity and show several mechanisms of preventing telomere attrition to critical levels. Common and rare germline variants affect patterns of somatic mutation, including point mutations, structural variants and somatic retrotransposition. A collection of papers from the PCAWG Consortium describes non-coding mutations that drive cancer beyond those in the TERT promoter4; identifies new signatures of mutational processes that cause base substitutions, small insertions and deletions and structural variation5,6; analyses timings and patterns of tumour evolution7; describes the diverse transcriptional consequences of somatic mutation on splicing, expression levels, fusion genes and promoter activity8,9; and evaluates a range of more-specialized features of cancer genomes8,10-18.

Novel Pre- and Postoperative Care Using Telemedicine

Ferrari-Light, Dana; Geraci, Travis C; Chang, Stephanie H; Cerfolio, Robert J
The use of telemedicine and telehealth services has grown exponentially over the past decade and has become increasingly relevant and necessary during the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. There remains ample opportunity to electronically connect cardiothoracic surgeons with their patients during both preoperative and postoperative visits. In this review, we examine the various implementations of telemedicine within thoracic surgery and explore future applications in this quickly developing field.

Efficiency Quality Index (EQI)-Implementing a Novel Metric That Delivers Overall Institutional Excellence and Value for Patients

Cerfolio, Robert J; Chang, Stephanie H
In the last decade, healthcare systems have shifted their focus from increased volume of patients and procedures to improving patient outcomes and quality. While there are many societies and companies that have surrogate measures of excellence, these metrics are determined by those who do not directly participate and fully understand the best measurements of quality. In order to better assess quality and value, the Efficiency Quality Index (EQI) was created. The novel aspect of the EQI is the determination of metrics by the physicians who actually perform the procedures, in order to create an accurate and fair measurement of performance and outcomes. In this article, we describe how to create and implement the EQI, as well as outline its benefits.

Applying Systems Engineering to Increase Operating Room Efficiency

Ramme, Austin J; Hutzler, Lorraine H; Cerfolio, Robert J; Bosco, Joseph A
Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to creating, evaluating, and managing a complex process in order to increase reliability, cost-effectiveness, and quality. The operating room is a complex environment that requires human-human interaction, human-device interaction, planning, and coordination of scarce resources for the purpose of providing surgery to patients in a safe and efficient manner. The operating room is an important revenue generator, but it can also be responsible for unsustainable costs if not managed effectively. Reducing costs and increasing the efficiency of surgical cases is important for generating health care value. Efficiency efforts that aim for standardization of surgical protocols must be balanced by flexibility in the unpredictable operating room environment. This paper reviews systems engineering efforts to improve efficiency in the operating room including operating room scheduling, personnel factors, resource management, orthopedicspecific initiatives, and future innovations.

Current Novel Advances in Bronchoscopy

Jiang, Jeffrey; Chang, Stephanie H; Kent, Amie J; Geraci, Travis C; Cerfolio, Robert J
Screening for lung cancer has changed substantially in the past decade since The National Lung Screening Trial. The resultant increased discovery of incidental pulmonary nodules has led to a growth in the number of lesions requiring tissue diagnosis. Bronchoscopy is one main modality used to sample lesions, but peripheral lesions remain challenging for bronchoscopic biopsy. Alternatives have included transthoracic biopsy or operative biopsy, which are more invasive and have a higher morbidity than bronchoscopy. In hopes of developing less invasive diagnostic techniques, technologies have come to assist the bronchoscopist in reaching the outer edges of the lung. Navigational bronchoscopy is able to virtually map the lung and direct the biopsy needle where the scope cannot reach. Robotic bronchoscopy platforms have been developed to provide stability and smaller optics to drive deeper into the bronchial tree. While these new systems have not yet proven better outcomes, they may reduce the need for invasive procedures and be valuable armamentarium in diagnosing and treating lung nodules, especially in the periphery.

Port Strategies for Robot-Assisted Lobectomy by High-Volume Thoracic Surgeons: A Nationwide Survey

Oh, Daniel S; Tisol, William B; Cesnik, Larry; Crosby, Anna; Cerfolio, Robert J
OBJECTIVE:Robot-assisted lobectomy is the fastest growing technique for pulmonary lobectomy, but the diversity of approaches has led to apprehension about port placement among learning surgeons. The aim of this study was to survey high-volume thoracic surgeons who perform robot-assisted lobectomy to understand and consolidate common themes of port placement. METHODS:An electronic online survey was created, and the link was emailed to the 100 highest volume robotic thoracic surgeons in the United States. The survey included an interactive graphical interface, which allowed each respondent to mark the preferential robotic port placement in the chest wall for each of the 5 pulmonary lobectomies. Results were analyzed individually and in aggregate. A heat map was generated to show trends. RESULTS:insufflation. Exact locations for each robotic port were reported by 60% of the surveyed surgeons and the results varied; however, most surgeons generally used the seventh to ninth interspaces for the camera and instruments. The use of multiple different interspace levels was common. Ninety-four percent of respondents used an additional nonrobotic assistant port. CONCLUSIONS:There is not a universal port strategy for robot-assisted lobectomy. However, placement of the camera and robotic ports low in the seventh to ninth interspaces is the most common approach. There are some nuances of stapling port strategies and sequence of port placement, which are identified.
