Equivalent survival between lobectomy and segmentectomy for clinical stage IA lung cancer.
This study compared the effectiveness of lobectomy and segmentectomy for treatment of clinical stage IA (T1N0) lung cancer patients. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons General Thoracic Surgery Database was linked to Medicare data in 14,286 lung cancer patients who underwent segmentectomy (n = 1654) or lobectomy (n = 12,632) from 2002 to 2015. Survival rates were found to be similar.
