1 Pneumonectomy After Induction Rx: Is it Safe? David J. Sugarbaker, M.D. Director, Chief, Division of Thoracic Surgery The Olga Keith Weiss Chair of Surgery of Medicine at,

2 Pneumonectomy after induction Rx Optimal treatment strategies for operable advanced stage lung cancer is still uncertain In patients with locally advanced lung cancer, improved resectability has been seen after concurrent chemoradiotherapy at, Chest x-ray courtesy of David J. Sugarbaker, M.D.

3 Challenges with pneumonectomy after induction therapy Chemoradiation may reduce pulmonary function and can result in significant fibrosis around key hilar structures Induction therapy may increase patient susceptibility to pulmonary edema and impair ability of bronchial stumps to heal Known complications/morbidity associated with pneumonectomy after induction therapy include: ARDS, pulmonary edema, broncho-pleural fistula, arrhythmias, prolonged air leak, vocal cord paralysis, and empyema Krasna MJ, Gamliel Z, Burrows WM, Sonett JR, Kwong KF, Edelman MJ, et al. Pneumonectomy for lung cancer after preoperative concurrent chemotherapy and high-dose radiation. Ann Thorac Surg. 2010;89(1):200-6; discussion 6. at,
