The efficacy and safety of wedge resection for peripheral stage IA lung adenocarcinoma: a real-world study based on a single center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effectiveness of segmentectomy for stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (IA-LUAD) has been well-documented. However, the efficacy and safety of wedge resection for peripheral IA-LUAD remains controversial. This study evaluated the feasibility of wedge resection in patients with peripheral IA-LUAD.

Methods

Patients with peripheral IA-LUAD who underwent wedge resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital were reviewed. Cox proportional hazards modeling was performed to identify predictors of recurrence. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to calculate the optimal cutoffs of identified predictors.

Results

A total of 186 patients (female/male, 115/71; mean age, 59.9 years) were included. Mean max
