Abstract
To investigate the association between the clinical characteristics and clinical modes of surgically treated lung cancer patients, we conducted a retrospective study with 1097 lung cancer patients receiving pulmonary resection between 2012 and 2013.A physical examination or screening (PES) group (n = 267) and a symptomatic (SY) group (n = 830) were established depending on the new clinical mode (sequence of physical examination, early detection and sequential medical treatment) and the conventional mode (hospitalization due to occurrence of relevant symptoms), respectively.A higher proportion of patients referred to our unit directly form a junior medical unit is found in PES group (43.8%, 117/267 vs 13.6%, 113/830) (P < 0.001) and 37.5% (100/267) patients in PES group spent <1 months from detection or first medical visit to diagnosis compared with 15.4% (128/830) patient in SY group (P < 0.001). A significantly higher proportion of PES patients versus SY patients received video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resection (67.8%, 183/267 vs 42.6%, 352/830; P < 0.001). A significantly higher proportion of PES patients versus SY patients chose sublobar resection (16.9%, 45/267 vs 7.6%, 63/830; P < 0.001). A significantly high...Continue Reading
