“…This can be overcome by intrathoracic vagal and phrenic nerve blocks or administration of aerosolized lidocaine. For nodules and GGOs not amenable to finger palpation, preoperative CT guided hook wire insertion or a preoperative CT-guided dye localization can improve the intraoperative localization and shortened the operative time and manipulation [12] .…”

Sadly, not all of them are fit for surgery, but with minimally invasive approaches, large number of those patients can be offered surgery and get a better overall survival. Awake non-intubated video assisted thoracic surgery resection is one of the most recent technique that we believe to be a game changer in this spectrum of patients who were previously classified as medically inoperable.
