Surgical treatment is one of the key approaches for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Regular postoperative follow-up is crucial for early detection and timely management of tumor recurrence, metastasis, or second primary tumors. A scientifically sound and reasonable follow-up strategy not only extends patient survival but also significantly improves quality of life, thereby enhancing overall prognosis. This consensus aims to build upon the previous version by incorporating the latest clinical research advancements and refining postoperative follow-up protocols for early-stage NSCLC patients based on different treatment modalities. It provides a scientific and practical reference for clinicians involved in the postoperative follow-up management of NSCLC. By optimizing follow-up strategies, this consensus seeks to promote the standardization and normalization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment in China, helping more patients receive high-quality care and long-term management. Additionally, the release of this consensus is expected to provide insights for related research and clinical practice both domestically and internationally, driving continuous development and innovation in the field of postoperative management for NSCLC.

The widespread application of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has significantly increased the detection of pulmonary small nodules, while accurate prediction of their growth patterns is crucial to avoid overdiagnosis or underdiagnosis. This article reviews recent research advances in predicting pulmonary nodule growth based on CT imaging, with a focus on summarizing key factors influencing nodule growth, such as baseline morphological parameters, dynamic indicators, and clinical characteristics, traditional prediction models (exponential and Gompertzian models), and the applications and limitations of radiomics-based and deep learning models. Although existing studies have achieved certain progress in predicting nodule growth, challenges such as small sample sizes and lack of external validation persist. Future research should prioritize the development of personalized and visualized prediction models integrated with larger-scale datasets to enhance predictive accuracy and clinical applicability.

The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement aims to enhance the quality of reporting for randomized controlled trial (RCT) by providing a minimum item checklist.

The latest version was released in April 2025, continuously reflecting new evidence, methodological advancements, and user feedback. CONSORT 2025 includes 30 essential checklist items and a template for a participant flow diagram. The main changes to the checklist include the addition of 7 items, revision of 3 items, and deletion of 1 item, as well as the integration of multiple key extensions. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of the statement, aiming to help clinical trial staff, journal editors, and reviewers fully understand the essence of CONSORT 2025, correctly apply it in writing RCT reports and evaluating RCT quality, and provide guidance for conducting high-level RCT research in China.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is currently the most prevalent malignancy and the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Although the early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents a relatively good prognosis, a considerable number of lung cancer cases are still detected and diagnosed at locally advanced or late stages. Surgical treatment combined with perioperative multimodality treatment is the mainstay of treatment for locally advanced NSCLC and has been shown to improve patient survival. Following the standard methods of neoadjuvant therapy, perioperative management, postoperative adjuvant therapy, and other therapeutic strategies are important for improving patients' prognosis and quality of life. However, controversies remain over the perioperative management of NSCLC and presently consensus and standardized guidelines are lacking for addressing critical clinical issues in multimodality treatment. METHODS: The working group consisted of 125 multidisciplinary experts from thoracic surgery, medical oncology, radiotherapy, epidemiology, and psychology. This guideline was developed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. The clinical questions were collected and selected based on preliminary open-ended questionnaires and subsequent discussions during the Guideline Working Group meetings. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for available evidence. The GRADE system was used to evaluate the quality of evidence and grade the strengths of recommendations. Finally, the recommendations were developed through a structured consensus-building process. RESULTS: The Guideline Development Group initially collected a total of 62 important clinical questions. After a series of consensus-building conferences, 24 clinical questions were identified and corresponding recommendations were ultimately developed, focusing on neoadjuvant therapy, perioperative management, adjuvant therapy, postoperative psychological rehabilitation, prognosis assement, and follow-up protocols for NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS This guideline puts forward reasonable recommendations focusing on neoadjuvant therapy, perioperative management, adjuvant therapy, postoperative psychological rehabilitation, prognosis assessment, and follow-up protocol of NSCLC. It standardizes perioperative multimodality treatment and provides guidance for clinical practice among thoracic surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiotherapists, aiming to reduce postoperative recurrence, improve patient survival, accelerate recovery, and minimize postoperative complications such as atelectasis.

With the increasing application of low-dose computed tomography and the rising public health awareness, the early detection of pulmonary nodules has become more prevalent. Pulmonary nodules, especially those with a diameter≤2 cm, pose a critical challenge in clinical practice due to the potential risk of progressing into malignant lung lesions. Guided by the principles of "avoiding both over-treatment and mistreatment", the goal is to standardize the clinical management of pulmonary nodules. The "Chinese thoracic surgery expert consensus on rational diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules with a diameter≤2 cm (2024)" was developed after extensive consultation with nearly one hundred thoracic surgery experts in China, relying on large-scale clinical study data and referencing national and international guidelines and consensus. The consensus includes 29 recommendations, focusing on specific attributes such as the size, composition, and anatomical positioning of the nodules. It proposes targeted guidelines for screening, follow-up, diagnostic criteria, and recommendations for personalized treatment, surgical approaches, and protocols for rapid postoperative recovery.

The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) recently introduced the ninth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer. This milestone is supported by a comprehensive database comprising 124 581 lung cancer patients from 75 centers across 25 nations between 2011 and 2019. Following the exclusion of incomplete data, the analysis focused on 87 043 patients. These insights guided the modifications in the ninth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer. The updated classification now includes a higher representation of Asian patients, particularly showing significant growth among Chinese patients. This revised classification will offer more pertinent benchmarks for the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of lung cancer. This article delves into the database updates, stage adjustments, and rationale behind the IASLC ninth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the highest morbidity of malignant tumor in China, and bone metastasis is one of the common sites. With the development of imaging and nuclear medicine technology, the level of early diagnosis of bone metastasis has been improved. There are also many evidence-based evidences and advances in systemic therapy (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy) and bone modification drugs for treatment of bone metastases from lung cancer. The comprehensive treatment model under the guidance of multiple disciplines (including medical oncology, surgery, radiotherapy, interventional medicine, nuclear medicine, psychological rehabilitation, etc.) has been widely implemented in clinical practice. Therefore, Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of China Medicine Education Association, Youth Specialists Committee of Lung Cancer, Beijing Medical Award Foundation and Lung Cancer Specialty Committee of Chinese Elderly Health Care Association have written the "Chinese Clinical Guidelines on Diagnosis and Treatment of Lung Cancer Bone Metastasis (Version 2024)", based on the "Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Lung Cancer Bone Metastasis (Version 2019)". The aim is to enhance the comprehensive treatment level of lung cancer bone metastasis in China.

Minimally invasive surgery is the development direction of surgery in the 21st century, and thoracoscopic or laparoscopic skills are essential skills that all surgeons must master. Thoracoscopic or laparoscopic skills training is an important part of surgical resident training. However, there are various methods for thoracoscopic or laparoscopic skill training internationally. The assessment is still in the stage of examiners’ visual observation and subjective evaluation. Here, we reviewed the current research status of thoracoscopic and laparoscopic simulation training and assessment, discussed the development experience and application achievements of Huaxi Intelligent Thoracoscopic Skill Training and Assessment System. We aimed to provide a theoretical basis and practical experience for the development of thoracoscopic or laparoscopic simulation education.

BACKGROUND:The elastic modulus of traditional bone implants is large and does not match the elastic modulus of human bone,which will cause a stress shielding effect and lead to bone resorption.The trabecular scaffold of the triply periodic minimal surface with radial gradient has elastic modulus matching with human cancellous bone,and its yield strength is greater than that of human cortical bone,which provides a new choice for the design of bone scaffold. OBJECTIVE:Triply periodic minimal surface structure with radial gradient was constructed by the implicit surface method.The sample was manufactured by laser selective melting technology,and the quasi-static compression test was carried out to obtain trabecular scaffolds with mechanical properties matching human bones. METHODS:Four types of the trabecular scaffolds of the triply periodic minimal surface with a radial gradient of G,I,P and D were established by the implicit surface method.Samples were manufactured by laser selective melting technology.We observed the surface morphology of the molded sample,evaluated the molding quality,conducted a quasi-static compression test,and evaluated the mechanical properties of the samples. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The quasi-static compression test results showed that compared with the four triply periodic minimal surface scaffolds,the platform stress of the G scaffold had less fluctuation and no failure or fracture,indicating that the G scaffold had the best plasticity.The mechanical properties of the G scaffolds with 45%,55%and 65%porosities were analyzed.It was found that the elastic modulus of G scaffolds with 55%porosity was within the range of elastic modulus of human cancellous bone(0.022-3.7 GPa),and the yield strength was close to the maximum yield strength of human cortical bone(187.7-222.3 MPa).In conclusion,G triply periodic minimal surface scaffold with 55%porosity can reduce the stress shielding effect,bear a higher body load,improve the stability of the implant,and prolong the service life of the implant.
