Survival equivalent with sublobar, lobar resection of stage Ia NSCLC


 

AT THE AATS ANNUAL MEETING

Dr. Altorki said that, going in, many of the surgeons may have thought that a 1- to 1.2-cm tumor may be equally resected with wedge resection and anatomic segmentectomy, and that this "is a job we have to address in ongoing randomized trials."

Dr. Altorki reported no relevant financial disclosures.
