Abstrakt: A recent study conducted at the University of South Florida Health challenges the notion that marital status has a protective effect on cancer treatment outcomes and survival. The study specifically focused on the perioperative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL). Researchers analyzed data from 709 patients who underwent RAPL and found that marital status did not significantly impact overall survival or other perioperative outcomes, except for a higher likelihood of robotic-associated intraoperative complications and greater estimated blood loss among married patients. The study suggests that social support from a spouse or domestic partner may be less protective in early-stage lung cancer and after minimally invasive pulmonary lobectomy compared to other cancer populations.
