“…An explanation for this is likely the result of several factors including a high relative proportion of epithelial growth factor receptor ( EGFR )-mutation positive lung tumors for targeted therapies, the standardized long-term surveillance of lung cancer survivors, and the coordinated efforts on a national level to monitor and improve cancer care in Japan. 52,53 …”

“…Theoretically, additional survival advantage should be expected in elderly population having GGO lesions and undergoing sublobar resection. Evidences are accumulating that sublobar resections (segmentectomy or big wedge resection) are oncologically equivalent to standard lobectomy for small (≤2 cm) less invasive histology (Adenocarcinoma in situ or Minimal Invasive Adenocarcinoma) appearing as GGO on CT scan [20,21,22,23].…”

“…Genetic sequencing of the initial tumor specimen is often used to determine therapy at recurrence although tumor spatial heterogeneity may lead to poorer efficacy to targeted therapy ( 29 , 30 ). In our study, through the analysis of matched primary and post-operative recurrence in 45 patients, we observed two key findings: first, temporal genetic heterogeneity occurred relatively commonly between the primary and post-operative recurrent NSCLC tumors; Second, temporal heterogeneity might influence the therapeutic efficacy of first-line EGFR TKI treatment at relapse.…”
