Clinical outcome of subcentimeter non-small cell lung cancer after surgical resection: single institution experience of 105 patients.

摘要: Background The detection of subcentimeter lung cancers has significantly improved with advances in computed tomography and the emergence screening protocols. We reviewed clinicopathological features surgical outcomes patients non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) our institution. Methods A total 105 who underwent lobectomy or sublobar resection for NSCLCs were retrospectively reviewed. Clinicopathological characteristics survival analyzed statistically using Student's t-test continuous variables, Fisher's exact categorical variables Cox regression multivariable analysis. Results A (35 male, 70 female; mean age 61.4, range 38–77 years) analyzed. Patients (n = 71), segmentectomy (n = 19), wedge (n = 15). The overall 5-year was 91.3%. No significant differences observed recurrence-free after lobectomy; undergoing had shorter compared to those lobectomy. Elevated preoperative serum CEA levels positive nodal status correlated poorer survival, identified as independent prognostic factors multivariate analysis. Conclusion Systematic dissection is recommended NSCLC. Segmentectomy offers comparable oncologic results level implies these tiny tumors. J. Surg. Oncol. 2014 110:233–238. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
