Choice of Surgical Procedure for Patients With Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer 1 to 2 cm Among Lobectomy, Segmentectomy, and Wedge Resection: A Population-Based Study [Thoracic Oncology]

Conclusion Lobectomy showed better survival than sublobar resection for patients with NSCLC ≤ 1 cm and > 1 to 2 cm. For patients in whom lobectomy is unsuitable, segmentectomy should be recommended for NSCLC > 1 to 2 cm, whereas surgeons could rely on surgical skills and the patient profile to decide between segmentectomy and wedge resection for NSCLC ≤ 1 cm.
