ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Pulmonary resection, in addition to perioperative systemic therapies, is a cornerstone of treatment for operable patients with early-stage and locoregional disease. In recent years, increased emphasis has been placed on surgical quality metrics specific and evidence-based structural, process, and outcome measures that aim to decrease variation in lung cancer care and improve long term outcomes. These metrics can be divided into potential areas of intervention or improvement in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of care and form the basis of guidelines issued by organizations including the National Cancer Center Network (NCCN) and Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). This review focuses on established quality metrics associated with lung cancer surgery with an emphasis on the most recent research and guidelines. RECENT

FINDINGS:

Over the past 18 months, quality metrics across the peri-operative care period were explored, including optimal invasive mediastinal staging preoperatively, the extent of intraoperative lymphadenectomy, surgical approaches related to minimally invasive resection, and enhanced recovery pathways that facilitate early discharge following pulmonary resection.

SUMMARY:

Quality metrics in lung cancer surgery is an exciting and important area of research. Adherence to quality metrics has been shown to improve overall survival and guidelines supporting their use allows targeted quality improvement efforts at a local level to facilitate more consistent, less variable oncologic outcomes across centers.
