The treatment for resectable lung cancer has developed to the era of comprehensive treatment based on minimally invasive surgery (MIS). MIS is not only manifested by the "shrink" of incisions, but also by the individualization and meticulous of incisions. Meanwhile, the minimal invasiveness of other procedures in MIS, such as the minimally invasive anesthesia (tubeless anesthesia) and minimally invasive, meticulous and individualized surgical instruments represented by 3D thoracoscope with naked eye. Even advanced stage lung cancer patients could receive precision treatment based on molecular information of their cancer tissue obtained by surgery. Therefore, the treatment for lung cancer should be comprehensive treatment based on MIS.
