A Prospective Phase II Study of Cisplatin and Cremophor EL-Free Paclitaxel (Genexol-PM) in Patients with Unresectable Thymic Epithelial Tumors
Conclusions: These data suggest that combination of cisplatin and Genexol-PM is highly effective and tolerable for the treatment of unresectable thymic epithelial tumors. (Source: Journal of Thoracic Oncology)

Prognostic Significance of CT-Determined Sarcopenia in Patients with Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Conclusions: Sarcopenia as determined by CT could be used to predict prognosis in patients with SCLC. Optimum reference values to predict cancer-specific outcomes should be tailored by further studies. (Source: Journal of Thoracic Oncology)

Role of CT and PET Imaging in Predicting Tumor Recurrence and Survival in Patients with Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Comparison with the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society Classification of Lung Adenocarcinoma
Conclusions: TDR on CT, SUVmax on PET, and the new histologic classification schemes appear to be promising parameters for the prognostic stratification of patients with lung adenocarcinomas, allowing for the triage of patients who necessitate further staging workup and adjuvant therapy.

Treatment Outcomes in Stage I Lung Cancer: A Comparison of Surgery and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
Conclusion: In a propensity matched comparison, patients selected for surgery have improved survival compared with SBRT. In the absence of information on cause of death and with limited variables to characterize comorbidity, it is not possible to assess the relative contribution of patient selection or better cancer control toward the improved survival. Rigorous prospective studies are needed to optimize patient selection for SBRT in the high-risk surgical population. (Source: Journal of Thoracic Oncology)

Utilization of Hyperfractionated Radiation in Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Its Impact on Survival
Conclusions: The adoption of BID radiation remains very limited, but is more commonly utilized in the academic setting. In this hospital-based study, BID fractionation was associated with improved survival over once-daily fractionation, even at doses ≥60 Gy. (Source: Journal of Thoracic Oncology)
