Modeling the impact of delaying the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer during COVID-19
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led surgical societies to recommend delaying diagnosis and treatment of suspected lung cancer for lesions less than 2 cm. The COVID-19 infection rate at which immediate operative risk exceeds benefit is unknown. Delaying diagnosis can lead to disease progression, but the impact of this delay on mortality is unknown. In this study, the investigators sought to model immediate versus delayed surgical resection in a suspicious lung nodule less than 2 cm.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons lung cancer resection risk model: higher quality data and superior outcomes.
The researchers updated the lung cancer resection risk model utilizing the Society of Thoracic Surgeons General Thoracic Surgery Database (GTSD) with a larger and more contemporary cohort. Risk factors from the prior lung cancer resection model were refined, and new risk factors such as prior thoracic surgery were identified. They concluded that operative mortality and complication rates were low for lung cancer resection among surgeons participating in the GTSD.
