Ten-year survival outcomes of video-assisted thoracic surgery <i>vs.</i> open major lung resection for stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer: a large cohort study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the widespread adoption of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for major lung resection, the 10-year long-term survival outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with VATS compared with open major lung resection is lacking. The purpose of this study was to analyze the short- and long-term outcomes of VATS vs. open major lung resection for NSCLC.

Methods

The perioperative outcomes and long-term survival of p-stage I-III NSCLC patients who underwent major lung resection via VATS vs. open major lung resection in the Western China Lung Cancer Database (WCLCD) between May 2006 and June 2018 were studied using propensity score matching (PSM).

Results

Of the 10,167 patients who underwent surgery for lung malignancies, 6,4
