Abstract	Objective: To investigate the prognostic significance of STAS (Spread through air spaces) and its effect on survival in the various types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Study design: Descriptive analytical study. Place and Duration of the Study: Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkiye, between 2018 and 2021. Methodology: Early-stage lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy were included. STAS was defined as presence of tumour cell clumps, solid nests or set of single cells located in airway spaces apart from the main tumour border and determined by pathological work-up. The clinical significance of STAS was investigated by means of histopathological subtype, tumour size, and maximum standardised uptake value (SUVmax) on PET-CT scan in early-stage lung cancer by grouping it as adenocarcinoma and non-adenocarcinoma. Five-year overall and disease-free survival, and recurrence were the outcome measures. Results: A total of 165 patients were included in the study. No recurrence was observed in 125 patients, 40 patients developed recurrence. Five-year overall survival (OS) was 69.6% in STAS (+) cohort and 74.5% in STAS (-) cohort (p=0.88). Five-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 51.1% in STAS (+) cohort and 73.1% for STAS (-) cohort (p=0.034). While the absence of STAS in the adenocarcinoma group was associated with better DFS, lower SUVMax and smaller tumour size, similar results were not found to be at statistically significant level in the non-adenocarcinoma group. Conclusion: STAS positivity makes a difference in DFS, tumour size and SUVmax, especially in adenocarcinoma, however, it does not create a significant difference in survival or clinic pathological features in the non-adenocarcinoma. Key words: Lung Cancer, Lobectomy, Spread through air spaces, Survival, Prognosis.

Abstract	Background: This study aims to compare the surgical results, complications, mortality rates, and inpatient costs in two patient groups followed, whether in the intensive care unit or general ward after a major thoracic procedure and to examine clinical and surgical factors related to the development of complications. Methods: Between January 2018 and June 2021, a total of 485 patients (150 males, 335 females; mean age: 58.3±13.2 years; range, 22 to 86 years) who underwent a major thoracic surgery in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as the intensive care unit patients (n=254) and general ward patients (n=231). In the former group, the patients were followed in the intensive care unit for a day, while in the general ward group, the patients were taken directly to the ward. The groups were compared after propensity score matching. All patients were analyzed for risk factors of morbidity development. Results: After propensity score matching, 246 patients were enrolled including 123 patients in each group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in any features except for late morbidity, and inpatient costs were higher in the intensive care unit group (p<0.05). In the multivariate analysis, age, American Society of Anesthesiologists Class 3, and secondary malignancy were found to be associated with morbidity (p<0.05). Conclusion: In experienced centers, it is both safe and costeffective to follow almost all of the major thoracic surgery patients postoperatively in the general ward.

Abstract	Background: Mediastinal lymphadenopathies with high 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in patients previously operated on for lung cancer are alarming for recurrence and necessitate invasive diagnostic procedures. Peroperative placement of oxidized cellulose to control minor bleeding may lead to a metastasis-like image through a foreign body reaction within the dissected mediastinal lymph node field at postoperative examinations. In this study, we investigated clinicopathological features and the frequency of foreign body reaction mimicking mediastinal lymph node metastasis. Methods: Patients who underwent surgery for lung cancer between January 2016 and August 2021 and who were subsequently evaluated for mediastinal recurrence with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) were included. Patients were grouped according to the results of EBUS-TBNA as metastasis, foreign body, and reactive. Clinicopathological features of these patients were compared and characteristics of patients in the foreign body group were scrutinized. Results: EBUS-TBNA was performed on a total of 34 patients during their postoperative follow-up due to suspicion of mediastinal recurrence. EBUS-TBNA pathological workup revealed metastasis in 18 (52.9%), foreign body reaction in 10 (29.4%) and reactive lymph nodes in 6 (17.6%) patients. Mean maximum standardized uptake value (SUVMax) for metastasis group and foreign body group were 9.39 ± 4.69 and 5.48 ± 2.54, respectively ( Conclusion: Foreign body reaction mimicking mediastinal lymph node metastasis is not uncommon. Iatrogenic cause of mediastinal lymphadenopathy is related to earlier presentation and lower SUVMax compared with metastatic lymphadenopathy.

Abstract	Objective: Covid-19 became a pandemic, and researchers have not been able to establish a treatment algorithm. The pregnant population is also another concern for health care professionals. There are physiological changes related to pregnancy that result in different laboratory levels, radiological findings and disease progression. The goal of the present article is to determine whether the laboratory results and radiological findings were different in non-pregnant women (NPWs) of reproductive age and pregnant women (PWs) diagnosed with the Covid-19 infection. Methods: Out of 34 patients, 15 (44.11%) PWs and 19 (55.8%) NPWs were included in the study. Age, comorbidities, complaints, vitals, respiratory rates, computed tomography (CT) findings and stages, as well as laboratory parameters, were recorded from the hospital database. Results: The mean age of the PWs was of 27.6 ± 0.99 years, and that of the NPWs was of 37.63 ± 2.00; when age was compared between the groups, a statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: The laboratory findings and imaging studies may differ between pregnant and non-pregnant populations. It is important to properly interpret these studies. Future studies with a higher number of patients are required to confirm these preliminary data.

Abstract	This case report describes a patient with mediastinal fibrosis. The mass lesion was expanding from the mediastinum to the cervical region and surrounding the major vascular structures. The patient had symptomatic dyspnea at rest and pulmonary hypertension secondary to stenosis of the bilateral main pulmonary arteries. To decrease pulmonary artery pressure and improve blood flow to the lungs, grafting from the pulmonary trunk to the bilateral interlobar pulmonary arteries was performed using cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract	Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of lymph node dissection in secondary lung tumor metastasectomies. Methods: Between January 2001 and December 2015, a total of 201 patients (122 males, 79 females; mean age: of 41.4±19.2 years; range, 3 to 79 years) who had pulmonary metastasectomy due to colorectal carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and soft tissue - skeletal sarcomas were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological features of the patients, overall survival, and complication rates according to the presence of lymph node dissection were evaluated. Results: The most common histopathological subtype was a sarcoma in 118 (58.7%) patients, followed by colorectal carcinoma in 63 (31.3%) patients, and renal cell carcinoma in 20 (10%) patients. A total of 88 (43.7%) patients underwent systematic lymph node dissection with pulmonary metastasectomy. The mean overall survival of patients with and without lymph node dissection were 49±5.9 (95% confidence interval 37.3-60.6) and 26±4.4 (95% confidence interval 17.2-34.7) months, respectively (p=0.003). The five-year survival rates in colorectal carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and sarcoma were 52%, 30%, and 23%, respectively (p=0.002). Locoregional recurrences occurred in 15 (35.7%) patients in the lymph node dissection group and in 23 (60.5%) patients in the non-lymph node dissection group (p=0.026). Lymph node dissection did not show a significant relationship regarding to postoperative complications (p=0.09). Conclusion: Lymph node dissection following pulmonary metastasectomy may improve the overall survival and reduce locoregional recurrence, without any increase in morbidity and mortality.

Conclusion: Foreign body reaction mimicking mediastinal lymph node metastasis is not uncommon. Iatrogenic cause of mediastinal lymphadenopathy is related to earlier presentation and lower SUVMax compared with metastatic lymphadenopathy.

Abstract	Background: We present here a case series of patients who underwent resection for Masaoka stage III and IVa thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) with invasion into the superior vena cava (SVC). Methods: A total of 29 patients with stage III and IVa TETs were treated surgically in 3 institutions. Operative resections involved replacing the SVC from one of the innominate veins (n = 18) or via reconstruction by truncal replacement (n = 2) or patch plasty (n = 9). Results: Fifteen patients underwent neoadjuvant treatment. Thirty- and 90-day mortality rates were 3.4% and 10.3%, respectively. For stage III patients, the median overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) were 39 and 30 months, respectively. The median overall survival and DFS in patients with Masaoka stage IVa disease were 67 and 21 months, respectively. Undergoing only preoperative chemotherapy (P = .007) or receiving no chemotherapy (P = .009) had a DFS that was significantly higher than receiving both preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy. Conclusions: SVC resection and reconstruction in Masoaka stage III and IVa TETs can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Stage IVa patients with SVC involvement can be treated with similar results as stage III patients with multimodality treatment.

Abstract	Objective: Covid-19 became a pandemic, and researchers have not been able to establish a treatment algorithm. The pregnant population is also another concern for health care professionals. There are physiological changes related to pregnancy that result in different laboratory levels, radiological findings and disease progression. The goal of the present article is to determine whether the laboratory results and radiological findings were different in non-pregnant women (NPWs) of reproductive age and pregnant women (PWs) diagnosed with the Covid-19 infection. Methods: Out of 34 patients, 15 (44.11%) PWs and 19 (55.8%) NPWs were included in the study. Age, comorbidities, complaints, vitals, respiratory rates, computed tomography (CT) findings and stages, as well as laboratory parameters, were recorded from the hospital database. Results: The mean age of the PWs was of 27.6 ± 0.99 years, and that of the NPWs was of 37.63 ± 2.00; when age was compared between the groups, a statistically significant difference ( p = 0.001) was found. The mean systolic blood pressure of the PWs was of 116.53 ± 11.35, and that of the NPWs was of 125.53 ± 13.00, and their difference was statistically significant ( p = 0.05). The difference in the minimum respiratory rates of the patients was also statistically significant ( p = 0.05). The platelet levels observed among the PWs with Covid-19 were lower than those of the NPWs (185.40 ± 39.09 × 109/mcL and 232.00 ± 71.04 × 109/mcL respectively; p = 0.05). The mean D-dimer value of the PWs was lower in comparison to that of the NPWs ( p < 0.05). Conclusion: The laboratory findings and imaging studies may differ between pregnant and non-pregnant populations. It is important to properly interpret these studies. Future studies with a higher number of patients are required to confirm these preliminary data.

Abstract	Background: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas are very rare lung neoplasms, and no consensus exists regarding their optimal treatment. The prognosis of sarcomatoid carcinomas has been reported to be unfavorable compared with non-small-cell lung cancers; however, prognostic factors in patients undergoing surgery for sarcomatoid carcinomas remain unclear. Aims: To analyze clinicopathologic prognostic factors and survival outcomes in patients who underwent surgery for pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma. Study design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Methods: We designed a retrospective cross-sectional study in patients who underwent surgery for pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas and statistically analyzed the prognostic factors regarding clinicopathologic features with respect to survival outcomes. Results: We had a total of 44 patients with sarcomatoid carcinoma who had pulmonary resection. Sex distribution was 34 (77%) males and 10 (22.7%) females, which was determined by declaration. The mean age of patients was 57.3 ± 16 years with a median of 60 years. The 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 59% and 58%, respectively. The 5-year survival rates were significantly different for tumors > 5 cm (P = 0.044), tumorstatus (T) (P=0.016), lymph node status (N) (P=0.005), and pathologic tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage (P = 0.0001 ). However, histologic subtype (P = 0.628) and adjuvant treatment (P = 0.804) did not have any significant effect on survival. Similarly, the significant prognostic factors in univariate analysis were tumor size (P = 0.085), T status (P = 0.005), N status (P = 0.028), and pathologic TNM stage (P = 0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed only T status (P = 0.058), N status (P = 0.018), and pathologic TNM stage (P = 0.019) as independent prognostic factors, with statistical power of 87%, 43.1% and 21.2%. Conclusion: Surgery appears to be an optimal treatment with favorable outcomes for patients with pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma. Patients with small tumors at earlier stages are very likely to benefit from surgery, regardless of histologic subtype.
