Prevalence and time trends of <span>human papillomavirus</span> in penile cancer over 26 years—A comprehensive study of 1040 penile cancer cases from Denmark Open
Penile cancer is rare. It has been suggested that approximately half are human papillomavirus (HPV) associated, but large‐scale studies on HPV prevalence and time trends are limited. We aimed to examine the high‐risk HPV (hrHPV) prevalence…
Refining Risk Stratification and Surveillance Strategies in Pleuropulmonary Solitary Fibrous Tumors—An International, Retrospective, Multicenter Analysis Open
Background: Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura are rare neoplasms, and follow-up protocol is lacking. Various risk stratification systems have been proposed to predict recurrence. The aim of this study is to evaluate common risk scores a…

Diagnostic Accuracy of [18F]FDG PET/CT versus CT for NSCLC Surveillance: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial Open
The higher sensitivity of PET/CT, particularly after chemoradiotherapy and early post-treatment, suggests it may be particularly valuable in these high-risk scenarios. However, CT remains preferred for routine surveillance of low-risk pati…
Delay in lung volume reduction surgery due to the COVID-19 pandemic: impact on patient performance and mortality Open
The delay of LVRS due to the COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in lung function, 6MWT performance, and oxygen saturation. Although the majority of patients remained fit for surgery, the postponement resulted in cancellation of procedures…
Cardiorespiratory fitness after correction of pectus excavatum: a systematic review with meta-analysis Open
Pectus excavatum or funnel chest is the most prevalent chest wall deformity. Surgical correction is the treatment of choice which is predominantly performed on children and adolescents, often with significant surgical complication rates. W…
Discrepancies in regional lung cancer multidisciplinary team decisions can be reduced through national consensus meetings Open
Background: Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings are a gold standard in lung cancer care. A recent study identified discrepancies in staging and treatment recommendations among Danish lung cancer MDTs based on fictitious cases. This short…

Pain Catastrophizing Scale as a predictor for acute postoperative pain following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy Open
OBJECTIVES Postoperative pain after thoracic surgery remains a significant challenge, underscoring the need to identify patients at risk of severe pain. While prior research across various surgical types highlights the Pain Catastrophizing…

Parallel Phase II Clinical Trials of Selinexor in Patients With Advanced Thymoma and Thymic Carcinoma Open
Selinexor demonstrated modest anticancer activity in patients with pretreated advanced TETs. The treatment was complicated by high rates of TRAEs, leading to frequent dose reductions and interruptions.

Challenges navigating thymectomy with myasthenia gravis: A qualitative study of patient treatment experiences Open
Addressing individual patient needs, enhancing interdisciplinary coordination, and strengthening surgical nursing support can improve the thymectomy experience. Post-surgical discharge follow-up plans are essential for providing comprehens…
PULS (Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma) – An International Collaboration for the Assessment of Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma Patients’ Outcome Open
Background Pulmonary artery sarcomas (PAS) are rare with a poor prognosis and limited curative therapeutic options. This scarcity of evidence poses significant challenges. Aims This study aims to enhance the understanding of clinical chara…
ctDNA can detect minimal residual disease in curative treated non-small cell lung cancer patients using a tumor agnostic approach Open
These findings suggest that post-treatment ctDNA, detected using a tumor-agnostic approach, is a reliable biomarker for predicting recurrence in NSCLC patients following curative treatment. However, the optimal timing for blood sampling to…
SCAPAS-LungCancer—improving supportive care for patients surgically treated for non-small cell lung cancer: protocol for a prospective, longitudinal, observational and exploratory multicentre study Open
Introduction and aim Despite global advances in lung cancer treatment, challenges persist in symptom management and supportive care, particularly as the incidence of early-stage diagnoses rises. Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NS…
Is segmentectomy potentially adequate for clinical stage IA3 non-small cell lung cancer Open
OBJECTIVES This study aims to identify the feasibility of segmentectomy for clinical stage IA3 (cIA3) vs cIA1-2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We retrospectively analysed data of consecutive patients with segmentectomy for cIA…
Tumour spread through air spaces is a determiner for treatment of clinical stage I non-small cell lung Cancer: Thoracoscopic segmentectomy vs lobectomy Open
In this study, segmentectomy for clinical stage I NSCLC with STAS had inferior RFS and OS when compared to lobectomy.
Incidence, characteristics, and comorbidities of a complete unselected Danish cohort of patients with thymic epithelial tumors Open
Background and purpose: We report the incidence, characteristics, and comorbidities of the complete unselected Danish cohort of patients with thymic epitheliums (TETs), which may serve as evidence for guiding treatment, surveillance, and c…
Feasibility and accuracy of DireCt Lung Ultrasound Evaluation technique to monitor extravascular lung water in porcine lungs Open
OBJECTIVES Extravascular lung water precedes deterioration of pulmonary function. Current tools to assess extravascular lung water in a setting of donor lung procurement and ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) are either subjective or not feasib…
AB057. The practice, intent, and outcome of radiotherapy in thymic epithelial tumors—results from a national cohort Open
BACKGROUND: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are rare conditions with a wide range of clinical trajectory. Management is typically multimodal, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the utilization, i…
Long-term survival after sleeve lobectomy versus pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer Open
Sleeve lobectomy yields non-inferior short-term mortality and superior long-term overall survival compared with pneumonectomy and should be the resection of choice for centrally located NSCLC when feasible.
