P3.16-12 - Standard Conventional Lobectomy vs Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Patients with Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) – A Review (ID 13234)
12:00 - 13:30 | Presenting Author(s): Prakash Balakrishnan
- Abstract
Background
Lobectomy is the standard of care surgical treatment for all operable NSCLC . In most patients who are not operable surgical candidates , lesser minimal invasive pulmonary resections or nonoperative options may be indicated , Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) offers a promising alternative to these groups of unhealthy patients . In this review , we look into various published studies & articles in various databases , to evaluate the survival outcomes , cost-effectiveness , complications & evidence-based conceptualizations behind both treatment modalities in these studies via a summarized review .
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
A extensive literature search was performed using MEDLINE ,OVID & PUBMED search databases in the last 10 years . A retrospective review & meta- analysis of these papers were conducted using matched-pair analyses & propensity matched scoring & standard statistical analysis . A total of 21 papers were reviewed & a meta-analysis of these survival outcomes were compared between the standard conventional Lobectomy with the newer SABR treatment arm in early lung cancer patients .

P3.16-21 - Robotic Thoracic Surgery in Lung Cancer Resection – A Comprehensive Review (ID 14208)
12:00 - 13:30 | Presenting Author(s): Prakash Balakrishnan
- Abstract
Background
Minimally invasive VATS thoracic surgery is currently the gold standard approach for most thoracic procedures . It has come along way since major maximally invasive thoracotomy approaches . Minimally invasive thoracic procedures indefinitely has its distinctive positive outcomes & other secondary benefits to patients & surgeons . Introduction of robotic technique into thoracic surgery has brought huge advantage to patients & surgeons as well as maximised treatment modalities more efficiently . In the review , we will look into the state of art robotic thoracic surgeries available , feasibility , outcomes , accessibility & costs and the pitfalls .

A extensive literature search was performed using MEDLINE ,OVID & PUBMED search databases in the last 10 years . A retrospective review & meta- analysis of these papers were conducted using matched-pair analyses & propensity matched scoring & standard statistical analysis . A total of 43 papers were reviewed & a meta-analysis of these studies in terms of feasibility , outcomes , accessibility & costs and the pitfalls were looked into . A summary review into the current state of robotic thoracic surgery , with the its current limitations and future adaptations were also looked into
