In healthy adults, 70%–80% of our vital capacity can be exhaled in a single second when measured by spirometry. This is made possible by the combination of a highly elastic lung, a low-resistance airway tree and recruitable respiratory muscles.
Surgical resection is the standard treatment for early and more advanced forms of non-small cell lung cancer. Surgical procedures include sublobar resection (wedge resection, segmentectomy), lobectomy, sleeve lobectomy and pneumonectomy.
