Surgical management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) invading chest wall is the combination of pulmonary resection, lymphadenectomy and chest wall resection and reconstruction. Hitherto the surgical procedures include combination of thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), thoracotomy, and VATS. The result of the surgery leads to a defect in the chest wall. Therefore, the requirements of the technique and material are relatively high with no consensual standard. This review describes the definitions, indications, materials, prognostic factors, and recent progress in surgical techniques.
