Lung cancer specification
Item

Resection technique and pulmonary function
Item
the primary tumor must be deemed technically resectable by an experienced thoracic cancer clinician, with a reasonable possibility of obtaining a gross total resection with negative margins (defined as a potentially curative resection, pcr); however, the patient should have underlying physiological medical problems that would prohibit a pcr due to a low probability of tolerating general anesthesia, the operation, the post-operative recovery period, or the removal of adjacent functioning lung. standard "cut-off " guidelines regarding surgical resection of nsclc include the following: baseline fev1 <40%, post-operative predicted fev1 <30%, severely reduced diffusion capacity, baseline hypoxemia and/or hypercapnia and exercise oxygen consumption <50% predicted.
