Background Patients with early-stage lung cancer and limited pulmonary reserve may not be
appropriate candidates for lobectomy. In these situations, sublobar resection (wedge or …

Abstract Purpose and Design Standard treatment for early-stage non–small cell lung cancer
has traditionally involved lobectomy. Historical data that demonstrates suboptimal results for …

BACKGROUND: Segmentectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
remains controversial and has been previously associated with high local recurrence rates …

OBJECTIVES With recent improvements in surgical techniques for segmentectomy, we
hypothesized that segmentectomy is feasible and more effective than wedge resection for …

Sublobar resection for lung cancer–whether non-anatomic wedge resection or anatomic
segmentectomy–has emerged as a credible alternative to lobectomy for the surgical …

OBJECTIVE: Anatomic segmentectomy may achieve results comparable to lobectomy for
early-stage non–small cell lung cancer. The 7th edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging …

Background Segmentectomy is increasingly used for parenchyma sparing anatomical
resection for small stage I non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study characterizes the …

This is a comment on" Recurrence and survival outcomes after anatomic segmentectomy
versus lobectomy for clinical stage I non-small-cell lung cancer: a propensity-matched …

Sublobar resection (segmentectomy or wedge resection) has not historically been the
strategy of choice for treating lung cancer and is performed only as a compromise for …

Introduction: Although lobectomy is considered the standard surgical treatment for stage IA
non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), wedge resection or segmentectomy are frequently …
