Lobar or sublobar resection for early-stage second primary lung cancer ≤ 3 cm in size: a SEER population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Surgical strategy for second primary lung cancer (SPLC) may be more conservative due to influence of first primary lung cancer (FPLC). The optimal surgical method for SPLC warrants discussion. We aimed to explore a more suitable surgical approach for early-stage (T1-T2N0, ≤ 3 cm) SPLC and provide insights for clinical practice.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database between 2004 and 2018, and data of patients with early-stage SPLC who underwent secondary surgery were collected. Propensity score matching (PSM) reduced potential bias between lobar and sublobar resection groups. The effect of lobar and sublobar resection on overall survival (OS) was assessed in all patients and subgroups.
