This manuscript reviews the historical milestones, current strategies, and future innovations in lung cancer surgery. It traces the evolution from early pneumonectomy to lobectomy as the standard for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and highlights the growing role of sublobar resections, such as segmentectomy and wedge resection, for early-stage NSCLC.

Sternal Reconstruction with Titanium Prosthesis for Complicated Sternal Dehiscence with Right Ventricle Herniation after Cardiac Surgery: A Case Report

J Chest Surg 2025; 58(2): 60-64
https://doi.org/10.5090/jcs.24.087

This case report describes a patient who developed repeated sternal dehiscence and right ventricular herniation after cardiac surgery. To stabilize the chest wall and protect the heart, a multidisciplinary team successfully reconstructed the sternum using a pre-planned titanium prosthesis shaped with a 3D-printed model. The patient had a good postoperative recovery, showing that this method could be a promising option for managing complex sternal complications​.

Recommendation for Clinical T Staging in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Volumetric Measurement: A Retrospective Study from Turkey

This study evaluated the usefulness of 3D volumetric measurements for clinical T staging in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as an alternative to the traditional diameter-based method. Results showed that volumetric staging led to significant differences in tumor classification and provided more accurate predictions of overall survival, especially in early-stage tumors. The findings suggest that volumetric staging could enhance prognostic accuracy and may serve as a superior alternative to diameter-based T staging in NSCLC.

Current Trends in the Epidemiology and Treatment of Esophageal Cancer in South Korea.

J Chest Surg 2025; 58(1): 15-20
https://doi.org/10.5090/jcs.24.078

This study focuses on the epidemiology and treatment trends of esophageal cancer in South Korea, where it ranks as the 18th most common cancer and the 10th leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The incidence of esophageal cancer has gradually declined, with a notable increase in early-stage diagnoses, contributing to improved 5-year survival rates.

Starting January 2025, Dr. Seong Yong Park, MD, PhD, serves the role of Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Chest Surgery (JCS). Over the past five years, Dr. Park has served on the Publications Committee of the Korean Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery and has worked as an Associate Editor for JCS since last year.

Dr. Park graduated from Yonsei University and has held positions as an Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at Ajou University and Yonsei University. Currently, he works at Samsung Medical Center, specializing in thoracic surgery, particularly in esophageal and lung cancer. He has expressed his dedication to advancing JCS to achieve SCIE indexing in the near future.

Impact of Postoperative Prolonged Air Leakage on Long-Term Pulmonary Function after Lobectomy for Lung cancer
J Chest Surg 2024; 57(6): 511-518
https://doi.org/10.5090/jcs.24.047

This study investigated the impact of postoperative prolonged air leak (PAL) on long-term pulmonary function following lobectomy in lung cancer patients. Results indicated that PAL significantly delayed recovery of pulmonary function, with greater effects observed after lower lobectomy compared to upper lobectomy.
