“…Approximately 40% to 50% of patients with chest wall invasion have thoracic pain, although local pain is not always a sensitive indicator of chest wall invasion. 18 Rib destruction on the CT scan is a reliable sign of chest wall invasion. 19,20 However, the patients in the present study had no chest pain and no rib destruction was seen on MDCT.…”

“…Paulson described it as 'excruciating' pain (10). As with other lung cancers, patients with chest wall invasion may also present with cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, or no symptoms at all (23,24).…”

“…The depth of invasion is also an unfavorable prognostic factor (6,13). One theory is that intercostal muscle or rib invasion promotes distant metastasis because these structures are richly supplied with blood (23). Ultrasound, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the standard imaging tests available to evaluate chest wall infiltration.…”

Lung cancer presents with chest wall invasion in 5-8% of patients, which imparts some treatment challenges. Surgical resection is currently the standard of care, and there are some controversies regarding the best approach. Published series and case reports confirm the safety and feasibility of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in highly complex surgical cases including lobectomy with chest wall resection of locally advanced lung cancer. In this article, we present the clinical indications of locally advanced lung cancer that infiltrates the chest wall, the modalities for and importance of accurately staging lung cancers with chest wall invasion, and the technical aspects of accomplishing a safe and oncologically sound extended resection through VATS.
