Long-Term Results for Clinical Stage IA Lung Cancer: Comparing Lobectomy and Sublobar Resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lobectomy has been compared with sublobar resection for the treatment of stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Accurate long-term data are lacking on the risk of recurrence in routine clinical practice. This study used a unique and representative dataset to compare recurrence, overall survival (OS), and lymph node staging between lobectomy and sublobar resection.

Methods

The American College of Surgeons performed a Special Study of the National Cancer Data Base, by reabstracting records to augment NSCLC data with enhanced information on preoperative comorbidity and cancer recurrence from 2007 to 2012. For patients treated with lobectomy or sublobar resection (wedge resection or segmentectomy) for clinical stage IA NSCLC, propensity matching and competing ri
