Abstract
In 1995, Lobectomy had been established as the standard method by the Lung Cancer Study Group (LCSG) in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer by showing that lobectomy provides a significant survival advantage over sublobar resection. Sublobar resection had been considered a compromise option for patients who could not tolerate lobectomy (e.g., comorbidities of high-risk, advanced age, and low cardiopulmonary function). However, the study (a) included subjects whose tumors measured over 2 cm in diameter, or who had received non-anatomic wedge resections; (b) did not identify significantly different overall survival; and (c) lacked complete pulmonary function testing data.
