Comparison of outcomes following segmentectomy or lobectomy for patients with clinical N0 invasive lung adenocarcinoma of 2  cm or less in diameter

ConclusionsOur results suggest that segmentectomy achieved similar recurrence-free and overall survival compared with lobectomy for patients with clinical N0 invasive lung adenocarcinomas of no more than 2  cm. Therefore, segmentectomy could be an alternative approach. These results need to be further validated by randomized trials.
