The difference in survival disappeared after 71 years of age; [116] One report found 5-year survivals of 92.4, 96.7 and 85.7% for lobectomy, segmentectomy and wedge resection, respectively ...

In routine practice, unadjusted 10-year overall survival (OS) for lobectomy reached 44.8%, while for segmentectomy it was 44.2%, and for wedge resection 41.4%, according to Christopher Seder ...

Both lobectomy and segmentectomy demonstrated better outcomes than wedge resection, which had 5-year OS of 66.3% and 10-year OS of 41.4%. Read the full story here.

Compared with wedge resection, segmentectomy was associated with improved survival (hazard ratios, 0.88 and 0.91 for OS and LCSS, respectively). In a sensitivity analysis excluding pathologic ...
