Recurrence and Survival Outcomes After Anatomic Segmentectomy Versus Lobectomy for Clinical Stage I Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Propensity-Matched Analysis [1]
This single institution retrospective study compared outcomes for lobectomy and segmentectomy using propensity score matching. For 312 pts in each group, there was no difference in logoregional or overall recurrence rates. Operative mortality rates were similar for segmentectomy and lobectomy (1.2% vs 2.5%). 5-year surival rates were also similar (54% vs 60%).
