    Abstract Lung cancer is the first cause of cancer-related mortality. Mediastinal staging has a main role in the definition of the therapeutic strategy in early-stage and locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Non-invasive mediastinal staging with CT or PET imaging has relatively limited accuracy, and nodal biopsy may be required to reach adequate staging results. In the last two decades endoscopic techniques have been increasingly used in the field of mediastinal staging thanks to a reduced invasiveness and to the possibility of obtaining a more thorough assessment in comparison with surgical techniques. However, the ideal staging strategy is still a matter for debate, particularly considering the cost-effectiveness of the different approaches. Complication-rate, costs, impact on quality of life, time delay to treatment and survival of the different staging techniques still have to be analyzed in detail. Other issues to be discussed are the optimal combination of staging approaches and the influence of factors as the prevalence of nodal disease on the cost-effectiveness of the different methods. Future issues of invasive staging concern the possibility of extending the definition of nodal status to N1 intrapulmonary nodes, in the light of the development of new oncological and surgical therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract The novel coronavirus (Covid-19), as of January 2021, infected more than 85 million people worldwide, causing the death of about 1,840 million. Italy had more than 2 million infected and about 75,000 deaths. Many hospitals reduced their ordinary activity by up to 80%, to leave healthcare staff, wards, and intensive care unit (ICU) beds available for the significant number of Covid-19 patients. All this resulted in a prolonged wait for hospitalization of all other patients, including those with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) eligible for surgery. The majority of thoracic surgery departments changed the clinical-therapeutic path of patients, re-adapting procedures based on the needs dictated by the pandemic while not delaying the necessary treatment. The establishment of Covid-19-free hub centers allowed some elective surgery in NSCLC patients but most of the operations were delayed. The technology has partly facilitated patients' visits through telemedicine when security protocols have prevented face-to-face assessments. Multidisciplinary consultations had to deal also with the priority of the NSCLC cases discussed. Interpretation of radiologic exams had to take into account the differential diagnosis with Covid-19 infection. All the knowledge and experience of the past months reveal that the Covid-19 pandemic has not substantially changed the indications and type of surgical treatment in NSCLC. However, the diagnostic process has become more complex, requiring rigorous planning, thus changing the approach with the patients.

    Abstract Objective: The menstrual-related catamenial pneumothorax (CP) can be the first expression of thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES), which is the presence of endometriotic lesions in the lungs and pleura, and pelvic endometriosis (PE). This study aims to analyze our experience with this specific correlation describing our multidisciplinary approach to CP.
    Methods: Hospital records of 32 women, operated for CP at our Department from January 2001 to December 2021 were reviewed. Surgical treatment consisted of videothoracoscopy and laparoscopy when indicated.
    Results: TES and PE were diagnosed in 13 (40.6%) and 12 (37.5%) women, respectively. The association of TES and PE was present in 11 cases (34%). Fifteen patients (46.9%) underwent laparoscopy, of which 11 concurrently with videothoracoscopy. Most of the patients affected had stage III-IV endometriosis (40.6%). All patients received hormonal therapy after surgery. Five patients with PE conceived spontaneously resulting in six live births. The mean follow-up was 117 ± 71 months (range 8-244). Pneumothorax recurrence occurred in six patients (18.8%). At present, all women are asymptomatic, with no sign of pneumothorax recurrence.
    Conclusions: CP might be the first expression of TES and/or PE. A multidisciplinary approach is advocated for optimal management of the disease.
