“…In the past years, imaging techniques have been proposed to predict post-operative pulmonary function: computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), or a combination of these [100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108]. Quantitative CT appeared to be at least as accurate as perfusion scintigraphy.…”

A collaboration of multidisciplinary experts on the functional evaluation of lung cancer patients has been facilitated by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the European Society of Thoracic Surgery (ESTS), in order to draw up recommendations and provide clinicians with clear, up-to-date guidelines on fitness for surgery and chemo-radiotherapy.The subject was divided into different topics, which were then assigned to at least two experts. The authors searched the literature according to their own strategies, with no central literature review being performed. The draft reports written by the experts on each topic were reviewed, discussed and voted on by the entire expert panel. The evidence supporting each recommendation was summarised, and graded as described by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network Grading Review Group. Clinical practice guidelines were generated and finalised in a functional algorithm for risk stratification of the lung resection candidates, emphasising cardiological evaluation, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, systematic carbon monoxide lung diffusion capacity and exercise testing.Contrary to lung resection, for which the scientific evidences are more robust, we were unable to recommend any specific test, cut-off value, or algorithm before chemo-radiotherapy due to the lack of data. We recommend that lung cancer patients should be managed in specialised settings by multidisciplinary teams.

“…The portion of the lung remaining postresection was predicted by calculating lung volume in the area to be resected as a portion of total lung volume. With this, predicted postoperative function correlated as well as the method using radionuclide quantitative perfusion imaging (Wu, et al 2002).…”

“…Thoracic computed tomography (CT) has efficacy comparable to that of perfusion scintigraphy in the calculation of ppo-FEV1 (Wu et al, 2002). In one study that compared the usefulness of thoracic CT (figure 3), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma who are candidates for lung resection, MRI proved to be more accurate than the other two techniques in the measurement of ppo-FEV1 (Ohno et al, 2007).…”

“…Before the surgery, the preoperative VO2 is inversely proportional to the probability of the presence of complications after lung resection (Wu et al, 2002), which, in turn, is associated with postoperative loss of lung function (Nagamatsu et al, 2007). In addition, pulmonary rehabilitation improves VO2 before the surgery in patients with COPD with low VO2 (less than 15 mL/kg/min), which reduces late complications without affecting the operability or the prognosis (Bobbio et al, 2008).…”
