Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Segmentectomy Versus Wedge Resection for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Meta-analysis.
Segmentectomy and wedge resection have been recommended as appropriate surgical treatments for patients with poor pulmonary function or major comorbidities. However, for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), it is still undecided whether survival is better with segmentectomy or with wedge resection. ⋯ Survival after lobar resection for stage I NSCLC is significantly better with segmentectomy than with wedge resection.

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Versus Surgery for Early-Stage Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Surgery is the gold standard therapy for patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may provide as an alternative for patients who are medically inoperable or refuse surgical resection. The optimal treatment (SBRT or surgery) for patients with early-stage NSCLC is not clear. ⋯ Our results found a superior OS and long-term DC for early-stage NSCLC after surgery compared with SBRT after propensity score matching.
