ABSTRACT
Lung Cancer Surgery for Severe COPD with Emphysema Tumor Resection with Improvement of Lung Function Abstract. The golden standard for the therapy of early stage non-small cell lung cancer consists of surgical resection, usually performed as lobectomy or segmentectomy. These procedures demand a certain operability, including certain lung functional reserves. Patients with COPD and emphysema usually have lung function values far below that. Nevertheless, these patients can be offered treatmentif at the same time they qualify for concomitant lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). LVRS with simultaneous tumor resection can consolidate the diagnosis, provide definite histology, correct staging, and thorough tumor resection might even improve the postoperative lung function. As with all patients with a (possible) diagnosis of cancer, the indication must be discussed in an interdiscplinary tumor board.
