Extended resections and other special cases in lung cancer surgery: Real ‐world population‐based outcomes
ConclusionsAfter guideline ‐based evaluation, a significant rate of these special cases can be resected with a low complication rate and good long‐term survival in real‐world practice.Key pointsSignificant findings of the study
Extended resections for lung cancer include tumors spreading outside the lung
The rate of extended resection was 14.9% in a population ‐based setting
Major complications occurred in 7.5% and five‐year survival was 75.6%What this study adds
Complication rate and long ‐term outcome were similar compared to normal patients
Guideline‐based evaluation results with excellent outcome in real‐world practice
