Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both sexes, accounting for nearly a third of all cancer deaths. It causes more deaths than breast, colon, prostate and pancreatic cancer combined. Their overall 5-year survival rate is 15%, however, if caught in early stages it can reach up to 60–70%. Unfortunately, over 70% of lung cancers occur in advanced stages. For early clinical stages of non-small cell tumours, surgical treatment is usually recommended. Recently, the video-assisted thoracic surgery approach has proven to be at least equivalent to open surgery regarding oncologic principles, also showing the advantages of a minimally invasive procedure. In this occasion we present the case of a patient with lung cancer IIB on whom a lobectomy was performed using a minimally invasive approach. The patient was discharged three days after surgery. |
