Analysis of RATS, VATS and Open Lung Resections After Neoadjuvant Chemo-immunotherapy in Patients Performed in Five Referred Centers

Recruiting
Conditions
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Registration Number
NCT06626243
Lead Sponsor
Scientific Institute San Raffaele
Brief Summary

The study is a retrospective observational study. The study is designed to be multicentric and international and it will analyze medical records from selected patients diagnosed with locally advanced and resectable NSCLC who underwent lung resection by robotic, VATS and open approach after receiving neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy.

There are no risks for the patients, as this is a retrospective data collection.

Detailed Description

The use of neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is increasing. However, there is limited research comparing the feasibility and oncologic efficacy of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS), video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and open lung resection, in patients already treated with neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the benefits of RATS compared to VATS and open surgery in terms of short-term outcomes for patients with NSCLC undergoing neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy.

All adult patients diagnosed with locally advanced and resectable NSCLC who underwent lung resection from 01-01-2016 to 31-03-2024 by robotic, VATS and open approach after receiving neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy will be included.

Patients are divided into three groups: robotic lung resection; video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lung resection; open lung resection.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The perioperative complication of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach30-90 days after surgery

The investigators will measure the perioperative complications of VATS approach in patients who received neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. Complications will be categorized according to the Clavien-Dindo scale.

The perioperative complications of robotic approachfrom the surgery at 30-90 days after

The investigators will measure the perioperative complications of robotic lung resection in patients who received neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. Complications will be categorized according to the Clavien-Dindo scale.

The perioperative complications of the open approach30-90 days after surgery

The investigators will measure the perioperative complications of open approach in patients who received neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. Complications will be categorized according to the Clavien-Dindo scale.
