Oncological Outcomes of Lobar Resection, Segmentectomy, and Wedge Resection for T1a Non –Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

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 oncological outcomes of lobar re sections and parenchymal-sparing resections for T1a NSCLC. 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.
