A Brazilian randomized study: Robotic-Assisted vs. Video-assisted lung lobectom...
Terra,Ricardo Mingarini; Araujo,Pedro Henrique Xavier Nabuco de; Lauricella,Leticia Leone; Campos,Jose Ribas Milanese de; Trindade,Juliana Rocha MolABSTRACT Objective: To compare 90-day morbidity in patients undergoing lung lobectomy performed by either robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Intraoperative complications, drainage time, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, postoperative quality of life, and readmissions within 90 days were also compared. Methods: This was a two-arm randomized clinical tri...
Mesothelioma in a developing country: a retrospective analysis of the diagnosti...
Gregório,Paulo Henrique Peitl; Terra,Ricardo Mingarini; Lima,Leonardo Pontual; Pêgo-Fernandes,Paulo ManuelABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the process of diagnosing patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) at a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective study involving patients referred to a tertiary-care cancer center in Brazil between 2009 and 2020. The diagnostic process was divided into four steps: onset of symptoms, referral to a specialist visit, histopathological diagnosis, and beginn...
Evolution of the surgical treatment of lung cancer at a tertiary referral cente...
Soares,Mariana Schettini; Coltro,Laura Maria; Leite,Pedro Henrique Cunha; Costa,Priscila Berenice; Lauricella,Letícia Leone; Pêgo-Fernandes,Paulo ManuelABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the evolution of clinical and epidemiological data, as well as data related to diagnosis, staging, treatment, and survival, among patients undergoing curative surgery for lung cancer at a tertiary referral center in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: This was a retrospective study of cases in the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer database. We selected on...
Effectiveness and toxicity of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with non-small ...
Harada,Guilherme; Neffa,Maria Fernanda Batistuzzo Vicentini; Bonadio,Renata Colombo; Mendoza,Elizabeth Zambrano; Caparica,RafaelABSTRACT Objective: Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) improves survival of patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the cisplatin-vinorelbine regimen has been associated with a significant risk of clinically relevant toxicity. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of AC for NSCLC patients in a real-world setting. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective coh...
Robotic thoracic surgery for resection of thymoma and tumors of the thymus: tec...
Terra,Ricardo Mingarini; Milanez-de-Campos,José Ribas; Haddad,Rui; Trindade,Juliana Rocha Mol; Lauricella,Leticia Leone; Bibas,Benoit JacquesABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the results of resection of tumors of the thymus by robotic thoracic surgery, analyzing the extent of resection, postoperative complications, time of surgery, and length of stay. Methods: Retrospective study from a database involving patients diagnosed with a tumor of the thymus and undergoing robotic thoracic surgery at one of seven hospitals in Brazil between October of 2015 an...
Robotic thoracic surgery for non-small cell lung cancer: initial experience in ...
Terra,Ricardo Mingarini; Bibas,Benoit Jacques; Haddad,Rui; Milanez-de-Campos,José Ribas; Nabuco-de-Araujo,Pedro Henrique XavierABSTRACT Objective: To describe the morbidity, mortality, and rate of complete resection associated with robotic surgery for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer in Brazil, as well as to report the rates of overall survival and disease-free survival in patients so treated. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung carcinoma and undergoing resection by robotic ...
EBUS-TBNA versus surgical mediastinoscopy for mediastinal lymph node staging in...
Figueiredo,Viviane Rossi; Cardoso,Paulo Francisco Guerreiro; Jacomelli,Marcia; Santos,Lilia Maia; Minata,Mauricio; Terra,Ricardo MingariniABSTRACT Objective: Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Accurate mediastinal staging is mandatory in order to assess prognosis and to select patients for surgical treatment. EBUS-TBNA is a minimally invasive procedure that allows sampling of mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs). Some studies have suggested that EBUS-TBNA is preferable to surgical mediastinoscopy for mediastinal staging of...

Lung cancer in Brazil
Araujo,Luiz Henrique; Baldotto,Clarissa; Castro Jr,Gilberto de; Katz,Artur; Ferreira,Carlos Gil; Mathias,Clarissa; Mascarenhas,EldsamiraABSTRACT Lung cancer is one of the most incident types of cancer and a leading cause of cancer mortality in Brazil. We reviewed the current status of lung cancer by searching relevant data on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in the country. This review highlights several issues that need to be addressed, including smoking control, patient lack of awareness, late diagnosis, and disparities in the access to c...
Ultrasound-guided intrapleural positioning of pleural catheters: influence on i...
Araujo,Pedro Henrique Xavier Nabuco de; Terra,Ricardo Mingarini; Santos,Thiago da Silva; Chate,Rodrigo Caruso; Paiva,Antonio Fernando Lins deABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the role of intrapleural positioning of a pleural catheter in early lung expansion and pleurodesis success in patients with recurrent malignant pleural effusion (RMPE). Methods: This was a retrospective study nested into a larger prospective cohort study including patients with RMPE recruited from a tertiary university teaching hospital between June of 2009 and September of 2014....
