Background Accurate staging of lung cancer is paramount for directing treatment. After an
internal audit suggested a higher than expected rate of synchronous multiple primary lung …

Background The incidence of synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC) is
increasing, occurring in up to 20% of lung cancer patients. Accurately identifying SMPLC …

Objective: Up to 15% of lung cancer patients have multiple suspicious nodules. While some
of these nodules may represent metastatic lung cancer, others represent synchronous …

Objective: The detection rate of synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (SMPLC)

Background This study aims to quantitatively summary the characteristics of synchronous
multiple primary lung cancer (sMPLC), postoperative mortality, long‐term prognosis, and …

Background Distinguishing synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (SMPLCs) from
intrapulmonary metastases is important. The objective of this study was to determine long …

Background Treatment for synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (SMPLC) remains
controversial. Some surgeons treat SMPLC like advanced lung cancer, whereas other …
