Résumé
Healthcare systems contribute significantly to CO We used life cycle assessment(LCA) to evaluate climate impact in emissions of kilograms of CO Using LCA we calculated the impact of all categorized contributions for two treatments for NSCLC. In total, VATS generates approximately 547 kg CO When treating T1-2N0M0 NSCLC, surgery has a larger climate impact than SBRT. For both modalities reductions are possible.
