Sublobar Resection versus Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Clinical Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Study Using Data from the Korean Nationwide Lung Cancer Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) had been increasingly recognized as a favorable alternative to surgical resection in patients with high risk for surgery. This study compared survival outcomes between sublobar resection (SLR) and SBRT for clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Materials and methods

Data were obtained from the Korean Association of Lung Cancer Registry, a sampled nationwide database. This study retrospectively reviewed 382 patients with clinical stage I NSCLC who underwent curative SLR or SBRT from 2014 to 2016.

Results

Of the patients, 43 and 339 underwent SBRT and SLR, respectively. Patients in the SBRT group were older and had worse pulmonary function. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was significantly better in the S
