Description
José de Sá Moraes Neto and colleagues examine surgical margins in lung removal for Aspergillus infection, published in 2026. Surgery supports drug therapy in selected patients, yet margin effects were undefined. Nineteen patients treated from 2020 to 2024 were followed for a year. Margins were classed as tangential when very close to diseased tissue.
Four patients suffered recurrence, all in the tangential margin group. Close margins linked strongly to lingering symptoms. Antibody levels fell less in the close-margin group than in the wider group. Extent of lung disease itself showed no outcome link. Adequate margins matter as lung-sparing surgery spreads.
