Meta Analysis
Meta-analysis of lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection for stage I non-small cell lung cancer.
Survival difference following lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its subgroups remains undetermined. ⋯ This study suggested that tumor size or age alone should not be the criteria to encourage sublobar resection. For stage I NSCLC, survival following segmentectomy was inferior to lobectomy. Patients undergoing intentional sublobectomy achieved comparable survival as those who received lobectomy.
