P-132 * bronchial sleeve resection or pneumonectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer: a propensity matched analysis of long-term survival and quality of life
Conclusions: During the 5-year follow-up, pneumonectomy and sleeve lobectomy showed no significant differences in cancer-specific survival or in quality of life. However, thereafter sleeve lobectomy patients showed better survival. This advocates the use of sleeve lobectomy in central non-small-cell lung cancer when feasible.
Disclosure: No significant relationships.
