Abstract:

The treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer is challenging which usually requires multiple disciplinary cooperation. The efficacy of local treatment directly determines the patient’s subsequent treatment strategy and long-term prognosis. For resectable disease, open surgery is still the mainstream operation. Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is more similar to open surgery than traditional thoracoscopic approach due to clearer vision, more flexible and precise manipulation, which renders it better ability to perform fine dissection in more complex anatomic areas. As a minimally invasive approach, it would have a greater role in the surgical treatment of locally advanced lung cancer in the near future.

Key words: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, Minimally invasive surgery, Locally advanced, Lung cancer
