Clinical Outcome in Patients With Early-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Surgery or Radiation in the Absence of Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation: A Single-Center Retrospective Study Open
Data are lacking regarding the benefit of PCI in early-stage SCLC. Although the sample size in this study was too small to draw any conclusions, the findings add to the ongoing dialogue regarding the importance of PCI in this patient popul…

Racial Disparities in Adherence to Annual Lung Cancer Screening and Recommended Follow-Up Care: A Multicenter Cohort Study. Open
Rationale: Black patients receive recommended lung cancer screening (LCS) follow-up care less frequently than White patients, but it is unknown if this racial disparity persists across both decentralized and centralized LCS programs. Objec…

Use of a covered self-expanding metal airway stent for severe dynamic collapse within a bronchial aortic graft conduit in a post-lung transplant patient Open
We present a novel case in which a self-expanding, covered metal airway stent was utilized for severe dynamic collapse within a cadaveric aortic bronchial graft conduit in a post-lung transplant recipient with thoracic situs inversus.
