Long-term survival outcome after lobectomy in patients with clinical T1 N0 lung cancer.
The aim of this study was to assess long-term outcomes after lobectomy in patients with clinical T1 N0 lung cancer based on thin-section computed tomography. ⋯ Those patients with total tumor size ≤3 cm and consolidation tumor ratio ≤0.5 showed excellent prognosis and might be suitable candidates for sublobar resection. If noninferior survival of segmentectomy compared with lobectomy is confirmed in an ongoing Japan Clinical Oncology Group trial, segmentectomy will be included in the standard of care.
