Unfortunately, an incorrect value was given in the second paragraph of the Exercise tests section of the above manuscript. The penultimate sentence should have read as follows: “Between both values, post-operative FEV1 and DL,CO were estimated and, in those cases having either one >40% and ppo-VO2,peak >35% and >10 mL·kg−1·min−1, surgical resection was performed.”
Additionally, in figure 2⇓ of the above manuscript, two of the values relating to exercise testing peak oxygen consumption (VO2) were presented incorrectly. The correct figure is shown below:
Fig. 2—
Algorithm for assessment of cardiopulmonary reserve before lung resection in lung cancer patients. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; DL,CO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; VO2: oxygen consumption; ppo: predicted post-operative. #: If peak VO2 is not available, cardiopulmonary exercise testing can be replaced by stair climbing (see subsection entitled Exercise tests); however, if altitude reaching during stair climbing is <22 m, cardiopulmonary exercise testing with peak VO2 measurement is highly recommended; ¶: see sections entitled Surgical techniques in lung cancer and Chemo-radiotherapy in lung cancer.
