N2 - Synchronous multiple lung cancer (SMPLC) has been increasingly detected as a result of improved imaging techniques, though the incidence of SMPLC is rare. Surgery is currently the only treatment offering potential cure and long-term survival in patients with SMPLC, and complete resection is widely accepted as the first choice of procedure for this type. However, due to the rarity of this clinical scenario, many surgeons lack experience in surgical treatment of SMPLC. Here, we present two cases whose SMPLC was successfully managed with aggressive surgical therapy through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
