The 1st International Conference on Sublobar Resections for lung Cancer, organized by the Institute of Thorax Montsouris-Curie, will be held from 11th to 12th on January 2018 at the Institute Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris. In collaboration with the organizing committee, the Journal of Thoracic Disease will bring out a focused issue (edited by Dr. Dominique Gossot) dedicated to the meeting. The speakers have been invited to prepare for papers to the issue based on their lecture topics. Therefore, this issue will include the most state of the art contents of the meeting and cover all different aspects of sublobar resections for lung cancer, from indications to preoperative planning and advanced surgical techniques. We have high hopes that the focused issue will widely expose the meeting contents for greater impact and make them most readily available by clinicians and scientists all around the world.

Below is the list of topics and authors to be covered in this special issue:
