Segment resection for lung cancer.

W Kutschera

    Summary

    Segment resection for lung cancer offers similar safety to lobectomy but has a lower 5-year survival rate (23% vs. 45%). It is best reserved for patients unable to undergo lobectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Lung cancer treatment has evolved significantly.
    • Pulmonary resections are a cornerstone of surgical intervention for lung cancer.
    • Segmentectomy and lobectomy are common surgical approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of segment or wedge resections for lung cancer.
    • To compare segment resection outcomes with lobectomy in early-stage peripheral lung carcinoma.
    • To determine the appropriate role of segment resection in lung cancer management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 1,951 pulmonary resections performed between 1958 and 1979.
    • Identification of patients who underwent segment or wedge resections (n=91).
    • Comparison of operative mortality and 5-year survival rates between segment resection and lobectomy for Stage I peripheral carcinoma.

    Main Results:

    • Segment or wedge resections were performed in 91 patients, 57 for curative intent in Stage I peripheral carcinoma.
    • Operative mortality for segment resection showed no significant difference compared to lobectomy.
    • The 5-year survival rate for segment resection was 23%, significantly lower than the 45% observed for lobectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Segment resection is not a routine procedure for lung cancer.
    • Segment resection should be considered an emergency procedure for patients with early-stage peripheral carcinoma who are functionally inoperable for lobectomy.
    • Lobectomy remains the preferred surgical method for Stage I peripheral lung carcinoma when feasible.
