Lobectomy

Total or completion thyroidectomy during or after a lobectomy may be necessary for half of adults with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer who are candidates for lobectomy, according to findings published in Thyroid.

BARCELONA — Lobectomy performed through video-assisted thoracic surgery resulted in significantly fewer in-hospital complications and a shorter hospital stay compared with open lobectomy among patients with early-stage lung cancer, according to results from the randomized VIOLET trial presented at International Associated for the Study of Lung Cancer World Conference on Lung Cancer.
