Abstract

Recent advances in imaging technology and the widespread use of low-dose computed tomography screening have greatly increased the chance of detecting small-sized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with indolent features (radiologically ground-glass opacity and histopathologically lepidic pattern adenocarcinoma). This change in the disease pattern of NSCLC has led to a resurgence of interest in sublobar resection. The purpose of this study is to determine the outcome of patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC treated by 3 types of surgical resection (wide wedge resection, segmentectomy, or lobectomy) according to the institutional decision-making algorithm.
