Segmentectomy versus wedge resection for thetreatment of high-risk operable patients with stage I non-small cell lungcancer: a meta-analysis

摘要

Background:Although lobectomy is still the preferred treatment for patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), segmentectomy or wedge resection is frequently performed on patients who cannot withstand the physiological rigors of lobectomy. The objective of this study was to compare the overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and disease-free survival outcomes among patients with stage I NSCLC who have undergone these procedures.
