Hideki Endoh,Shigebumi Tanaka,Toshiki Yajima,Tomokazu Ito,Kohei Tajima,Akira Mogi,Yoshinori Shitara,Hiroyuki Kuwano +7 more
TL;DR: Predicted postoperative pulmonary function might be overestimated in COPD patients or in those undergoing VATS or lower lobectomy, as well as the clinical stage.

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery after Preoperative CT-guided Lipiodol Marking of Small or Impalpable Pulmonary Nodules
TL;DR: Preoperative computed tomography-guided lipiodol marking of small or impalpable pulmonary nodules is a safe and useful procedure for thoracoscopic resection of the lung.
Immunohistochemical analysis of phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor might provide a surrogate marker of EGFR mutation.
Hideki Endoh,Yasunori Ishibashi,Ei Yamaki,Takeshi Yoshida,Toshiki Yajima,Hitoshi Kimura,Takayuki Kosaka,Ryoichi Onozato,Shigebumi Tanaka,Tetsuya Mitsudomi,Hiroyuki Kuwano +10 more
TL;DR: It is possible that immunohistochemistry of phosphorylated EGFR can substitute for EGFR mutation analysis, and it is necessary to determine whether phospho-EGFR immunohistsochemistry predicts response to TKIs and survival benefit.
