A Prospective, Observational, Quality Improvement Study to Optimize Care for Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

This is a research study for participants who have been diagnosed with lung cancer and are
receiving VATS (Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) lobectomy or segmentectomy. The overall
objective of this study is to develop a database to collect data on participants who are
undergoing VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy for lung cancer.

This database will be used as for quality improvement purposes. Furthermore, the database
will help in collecting data in an organized fashion, which will help the investigators learn
more about the details of the workup performed prior to the surgery, during the surgery,
peri-operative management and early follow-up. The investigators hope that this database will
help to determine a common guideline to perform VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy. By creating
a common guideline for future treatment of VATS patients, the investigators predict the
efficiency of the process will increase significantly without decreasing, and perhaps even
improving, the quality of the procedure.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Male and female subjects

- Age ≥ 18 years

- Underwent a VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy procedure for lung cancer -- Note:
patients with other malignancies are eligible if they have a primary cancer of the
lung as defined above

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subjects undergoing thoracotomy lobectomy or segmentectomy for lung cancer

- Subjects undergoing surgical procedures other than VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy for
lung cancer
