For Patients with Early Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Lung Resections, Including Lobectomy and Segmentectomy, Areas Associated with Improved Long-Term Survival Compred with Wedge Resection. According to a studdy giftd at the annual meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, Christopher Seder, MDand Colleagues Analyzed Data from 32,340 Patients Undergoing Lung Resection Surgery for Stage 1a NSclc from 346 US Institutions. In this Group, 61.2%, 13.2%, and 25.6%Underwent Lobectomy, Segmentectomy, and Wedge Resection, respective. Lobectomy was associated with improved Survival compared with sublobar resetation (HR for overall survival (OS) and lung-cancer Specific survival (LCSS), 0.87 and 0.91, respectively), Specifically Compred with wedge resection (HRS, 0.84 and 0.88 for and lcss , respective), but not segmentectomy. Compred with Wedge Resection, Segmentectomy Was Associated with Improved Survival (HRS, 0.88 and 0.91 for and LCSS, respective). In A Sensitizing Analysis Excluding Pathologic-Upstaged Cases, similarly improved Survival Was Seen for Lobectomy versus sublobar and Wedge Resection; Lobectomy survival was improved versus segmentectomy (hrs, 0.88 and 0.89 for the and lcss, respectively), and survival was similar for segmentectomy and wedge resection.
