OBJECTIVES Thoracoscopic lobectomy has been widely performed on patients with early-
stage lung cancer; meanwhile indications of thoracoscopic segmentectomy have not been …

OBJECTIVES Only few studies compared the surgical morbidity and mortality of
thoracoscopic segmentectomy versus lobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer, in particular …

OBJECTIVE: As thoracoscopic lobectomy becomes widely applied for treatment of non–
small cell lung cancer, thoracoscopic segmentectomy remains controversial for patients with …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have discouraged limited pulmonary resection for primary
lung cancer, but pulmonary segmentectomy has advantages for some patients. Furthermore …

BACKGROUND: Thoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer has been widely accepted, but
thoracoscopic segmentectomy remains controversial because of the complexity of the …

Lobectomy has long been considered the standard procedure for early-stage lung cancer,
and minimally invasive techniques have been demonstrated to be associated with superior …

Background Thoracoscopic segmentectomy is increasingly used in the surgical treatment of
early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. However, it remains unclear whether pulmonary …

Background We compared survival between video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)
and thoracotomy approaches to lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer. Methods Overall …

Background Thoracoscopic lobectomy is well established for the treatment of early non-
small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its safety and efficacy for advanced-stage disease remain …

Background: Although lobectomy has long been considered the standard procedure for
Stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the selection of sublobectomy for Stage I …
