Summary, 2016 The number of general thoracic operations is stable – some 1500 per year. All eight hospitals have reported their operations for 2016. For the first year the number of thoracosopies (699) is higher than the thoracotomies (698). The number of mediastinoscpies is very low – 22 procedures in 2016. Surgery for lung cancer is increasing. 693 operations were reported. Of these 39 % were performed by thoracoscopic technique. No hospital in Norway can offer robotic technique in lung cancer surgery. All curative modalities in lung cancer treatment are increasing and some 40 % of the patients are now offered curative surgery, stereotacic radiation or chemo- radiotherapy. Very low mortality, both 30 and 90 days after surgery for lung cancer! Continuously increasing survival after 1, 2 and 5 years in both men and women diagnosed with lung cancer.
