Pneumonectomy for lung cancer: Contemporary national early morbidity and mortality outcomes

Abstract: Several risk factors for major adverse early outcomes after pneumonectomy for cancer were identified. Overweight patients and those who received induction therapy had paradoxically lower adjusted risks of mortality.

“…Recently, there is growing evidence suggesting that neoadjuvant treatment is not related to higher morbidity and mortality. [8,9] Our results also showed that factors such as right pneumonectomy, neoadjuvant therapy, smoking, and extended resection, which were previously related to postoperative morbidity, were not found to significantly increase non-malignancy-related long-term respiratory morbidity.…”

“…In that study current cigarette smoking was much more frequent in the underweight category (44.7% vs. 20.9% among obese patients). In another study of 4498 LC patients, any pulmonary complications following pneumonectomy tended to be more frequent in both underweight and obese patients [7], suggesting a U-shaped relationship with POP.…”

“…[6] In this regard, findings from the NCDB are congruent with previous reports. [28,29] In the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) trial for surgery in Stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC following induction therapy, approximately one half of patients in the surgical arm received a pneumonectomy. [7] This is disproportionate compared to the NCDB where 13% of stage IIIA patients underwent a pneumonectomy.…”
