Loco-regional relapse pattern and timing after segmentectomy in patients with c-IA non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Segmentectomy has been recognized as the standard procedure for small peripheral lung cancer; however, it has been shown that loco-regional relapse is more common with segmentectomy than with lobectomy. This study aims to investigate the long-term outcomes and loco-regional relapse patterns in patients with clinical stage IA (c-IA) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after segmentectomy and compare them with those after lobectomy.

Methods

We retrospectively compared the long-term outcomes of 115 patients who underwent segmentectomy for c-IA NSCLC with those of 292 patients who underwent lobectomy between January 2008 and December 2015. Segmentectomy was indicated intentionally or chosen in patients who were considered intolerable to lobectomy. New isolated growing
