Segmentectomy and wedge resection are equivalent for the treatment of early-stage pulmonary carcinoid tumors: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Currently, there is no consensus regarding the extent of surgery for stage I pulmonary carcinoid (PC) tumors, which encompass typical carcinoid (TC) and atypical carcinoid (AC) tumors. Sublobar resection includes segmental resection and wedge resection; the former is regarded as a type of anatomical resection that is better suited for tumor treatment. Therefore, it needs to be further verified whether differences exist in the effects of the two surgical methods on the survival time of patients. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used. The primary endpoints were cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) time. Survival differences were analyzed via the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. There was no significant difference in survival between the sublobar resection and
