Pulmonary Resection

Among patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with resection surgery, those classified as stage I vs. stage III had higher recurrence-free survival estimates 5 years after the procedure, according to results published in CHEST.

Among patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer, long-term survival was better with lobectomy or segmentectomy vs. wedge resection, according to results presented at the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Annual Meeting.
