    Segmental pulmonary resection offers palliative benefits for advanced lung cancer and is well-tolerated, even in patients with COPD. However, early survival in the curative group was impacted by systemic spread and comorbidities.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Lung cancer treatment often involves surgical resection.
    • Segmentectomy is a less invasive surgical option.
    • Patient selection is crucial for optimizing outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of segmental pulmonary resection in diverse lung cancer patient groups.
    • To assess outcomes including palliation, survival, and recurrence rates.
    • To determine the tolerability of segmentectomy in patients with compromised pulmonary function.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 61 patients undergoing segmental pulmonary resection for lung cancer.
    • Patients were categorized into curative, limited, palliative, and metastatic groups.

  • Outcomes including perioperative mortality, palliation, survival, and local recurrence were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant palliation was observed in limited and metastatic groups.
    • The curative group (T1N0M0) showed a 64% survival rate at 16 months, lower than anticipated due to systemic spread and smoking-related comorbidities.
    • Local recurrence rate was low (5%), and segmentectomy was well-tolerated, even in patients with COPD.

    Conclusions:

    • Segmental pulmonary resection provides palliative benefits and is a well-tolerated procedure for lung cancer.
    • Systemic spread and comorbidities significantly impact survival in early-stage disease.
    • Further research is needed to optimize patient selection and management strategies.
