Decentralization of cancer care could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one-third
CHICAGO — Telemedicine substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with travel to in-person clinical visits for cancer care, results from a retrospective study presented at ASCO Annual Meeting showed.
Wildfire exposure linked to higher risk for death after lung cancer surgery
Patients exposed to wildfires while recovering from lung cancer surgery had worse survival outcomes than their unexposed counterparts, study results showed.
More frequent CT scans not linked to better outcomes after lung cancer surgery
Frequent postoperative surveillance imaging after lung cancer resection did not improve outcomes for patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer, according to data published in Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Sublobar resection noninferior to lobectomy for patients with small-sized lung cancer
Sublobar resection conferred similar survival outcomes as lobectomy among certain patients with non-small cell lung cancer, according to phase 3 study results.
Obesity, pulmonary function may identify need for home oxygen after lung cancer surgery
Obesity and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide were significant risk factors for home oxygen use after pulmonary resection surgery, according to data published in Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
