Wedge resection verses lobectomy for stage 1 non-small-cell lung cancer

Abstract

Cox regression analysis, neuronal network analysis, and propensity matching in stage 1 non-small-cell lung cancer demonstrate no difference in long-term survival after wedge resection compared to lobectomy.

Survival after lobectomy versus sub-lobar resection in elderly with stage I NSCLC: a meta-analysis

“…In addition, recent study by Luzzi’s [19] et al reported sub-lobar resection is followed with a significantly lower five-year survival compared with lobectomy (63% vs. 90%). However, these results may be obscured by comorbid illnesses such as COPD, diabetes and coronary artery disease, which are often present in elderly diagnosed with NSCLC [20, 21]. The choice between sub-lobar resection versus lobectomy is influenced by the surgeon’s and each institution’s experience and preference.…”

Percutaneous cryoablation for inoperable malignant lung tumors: Midterm results

“…Despite surgery for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and lung metastasectomy has good tumor control rate, many people are inoperable [31]. As our acknowledgment, midterm results of percutaneous cryoablation (PC) for pulmonary malignancy are limited in the literature.…”

Could less be more?—A systematic review and meta-analysis of sublobar resections versus lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer according to patient selection

“…Of the included articles for quantitative analysis, one study was a randomized controlled trial [3], three were propensity-matched comparative studies [36,52,58], and the remaining 50 studies were observational reports. In total, 11 studies were completed prior to 2000, while in another seven studies the majority of patients were recruited before 2000.…”
