Cover Picture: The concept of a single anesthetic event (SAE) for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment has recently developed with the aim to streamline care and reduce delays in treatment. SAE integrates advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy, histopathologic diagnosis, and immediate surgical resection in one single anesthetic procedure. This review explores the historical surgical treatment of lung cancer, development of SAE, and the theoretical framework and practical implementation of SAE. While offering potential advantages such as shorter treatment times and reduced hospital stays, SAE encounters logistical difficulties and limitations in use. Despite these challenges, SAE demonstrates feasibility and suggests a pathway towards improved cancer management.
