Abstract
Kim and associates [1] have described their series of lobectomy patients with visceral pleural invasion and demonstrated that thoracoscopic lobectomy patients have no increased risk of pleural dissemination compared with open lobectomy patients. In addition, no differences were demonstrated between the groups in terms of locoregional recurrence, distant recurrence, and survival. The strengths of this study include the propensity matching to attempt to eliminate selection bias and also the excellent follow-up of the patients.
