Summary

Less than lobar resections are effective for peripheral Stage I lung cancer, especially in high-risk patients. This approach offers promising long-term survival and manages secondary lung cancers effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pulmonary Medicine

Background:

  • Peripheral clinical Stage I primary lung cancers often present challenges for surgical management.
  • Many patients with early-stage lung cancer are considered poor surgical risks due to comorbidities or reduced lung function (e.g., FEV1 < 1 liter).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of sublobar resections for peripheral clinical Stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • To assess the safety, efficacy, and survival rates associated with less than lobar resections in a cohort of high-risk patients.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 170 patients undergoing sublobar resections (segmentectomies or wedge resections) for peripheral Stage I lung cancer between 1973 and 1987.
  • Data collection included patient demographics, surgical procedures, postoperative outcomes, survival status, recurrence rates, and incidence of second primary lung cancers.

Main Results:

  • The study reported a low hospital mortality rate of 3.5% (6 deaths).
  • A 5-year disease-free survival rate of 54.7% was achieved (73 patients alive and cancer-free at 5-11 years, plus 20 who died from unrelated causes after 5 years).
  • The incidence of synchronous or metachronous second primary lung cancers was 13.5%, with nine long-term survivors among them. Local recurrences occurred in 14.1% of patients.

Conclusions:

  • Sublobar resection is a viable and effective treatment option for peripheral Stage I lung cancer, particularly in patients with poor prognostic factors.
  • The promising long-term cancer-free survival and the significant rate of second primary lung cancers support the use of less than lobar resections in selected patients.
