Abstract

The Lung Cancer Study Group, in order to investigate lesser resection within the community as definitive management for T1N0 lung cancers, in 1982 began a prospective trial of limited resection compared to lobectomy for these patients. First reported results demonstrated no significant differences for stratification and other prognostic variables, and no differences in postoperative complication rates. Interim analysis 3 years later suggested a higher local recurrence rate in the limited resection arm of the study. Further comprehensive analysis will be forthcoming.
