Abstract
In this issue of The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, Mynard and associates1 conducted a cohort study using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to compare survival rates between patients with clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent sublobar vs lobar resection and who were found to have occult nodal disease. Compared with lobectomy, wedge resection was associated with lower survival, whereas segmentectomy was not associated with survival. Another NCDB study, by Razi and colleagues,2 reported similar findings.
