Propensity matching analysis of left upper tri-segmentectomy versus lobectomy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The equivalence between left upper lobectomy (LUL) and left upper tri-segmentectomy (LUTS) for stage I left upper non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This study compares the perioperative and oncological outcomes of LUL and LUTS in this patient population.

Methods

This study included patients who underwent LUL or LUTS at West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Sichuan ShangJin Hospital between August 2018 and November 2023. Patients with tumors located at least 2 cm from the lingular segment were included. Propensity score matching (PSM) addressed baseline imbalances between groups. Perioperative outcomes, overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS), and subgroup analyses were assessed.
