Oncological outcomes of lobar resection, segmentectomy and wedge resection for T1a non-small cell lung carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective: The optimal treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains subject to debate. Lobar resection is considered the standard of care, but sublobar resections are a lung parenchymal sparing treatment offering promising results. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare oncologic outcomes of lobar resections and parenchymal sparing resections for T1a NSCLC. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge Search and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for studies reporting oncological outcomes following lobar or parenchymal sparing resections.
