Effects of Nuss procedure on thoracic scoliosis in patients with pectus excavatum

Clinical significance of concomitant pectus deformity and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: systematic review with best evidence synthesis

“…One study was identified by backward citation. Eventually, 48 studies were included: 19 in category I [ 5 , 9 , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] ], 21 in category II [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , and 8 in category III [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] ( Figure 1 ).

Comparison of mediastinal lymph node status and relapse pattern in clinical stage IIIA non‐small cell lung cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus upfront surgery: A single center experience

“…Mediastinal downstaging occurred in 48% of patients with trimodality treatment, but only 15% had a pathological CR. Multivariate analysis revealed that three factors were associated with improved outcome: lobectomy, pathological downstaging, and completeness of resection …”

Serum lactate dehydrogenase activity and its isoenzyme patterns in patients with pectus excavatum

“…Generally, patients with pectus excavatum are healthy, nearly asymptomatic, and are not known to show any specific laboratory findings so that laboratory study is considered unnecessary (1,6). However, we showed that pectus excavatum has various effects on the whole body, such as body growth and spinal scoliosis (2,12,13). In addition, some severe cases of pectus excavatum present with jaundice and right heart failure (1,5).…”
