Comparison of Treatment Outcomes Between Thoracoscopic Surgery and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare the risk of death, tumor recurrence, metastasis, and disease progression in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with thoracoscopic surgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Methods: Patients who underwent radical surgery and SBRT for NSCLC between April 2010 and November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Continuous and categorical variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square test, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate the survival outcomes of each patient group. Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to estimate the risk of death, tumor recurrence, metastasis, and disease progression. Results: A total of 167 patients were enrolled, of whom 75 and 92 und
