Brief Summary

Surgery is the front-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but postoperative complications remains high and patients' long-term outcome is still challenging. In addition to surgery, anesthetic management particularly intraoperative blood pressure management and use of dexamethasone may affect patients' early and long-term outcomes after surgery for NSCLC. This study aims to investigate the impact of intraoperative blood pressure management and dexamethasone administration on early and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer.
