Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The widespread use of CT scans has revolutionized the early detection of lung cancer. This shift has not only led to a paradigm change in treatment approaches—from traditional lobectomy to segmentectomy or partial resection—but also witnessed advancements in high-performance radiotherapy techniques.
Our Special Issue aims to comprehensively explore various facets of early-stage lung cancer. From diagnostics to surgical and radiotherapeutic interventions, we seek to delve into topics such as treatment modalities, extent of lung resections, surgical approaches and intraoperative techniques for identifying small lung cancers.
The Special Issue will feature cutting-edge research, highlighting the latest advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of early-stage lung cancer. From innovative diagnostic tools to state-of-the-art surgical and radiotherapy technologies, we aim to showcase the forefront of scientific progress in this field.
We invite submissions covering a broad spectrum of themes related to early-stage lung cancer, including, but not limited to, diagnostic methods, medical checkup, surgical and radiotherapeutic therapy, extent of lung resection, intraoperative identification of small lung cancers. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to contribute their insights to advance our understanding and treatment of this critical health issue.
