Less Extensive Surgery Is Just as Effective as Larger Surgery for Some Early Lung Cancers

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, March 15, 2023

NEPTUNE, N.J., March 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center investigators were part of an international study at multiple centers showing that removing just the part of a lung containing an early-stage lung cancer was as effective as taking out an entire lung lobe, without putting patients at greater risk of a recurrence or poor survival. The findings of the clinical trial, published in the February 9, 2023, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, could change the standard of care for some people with small cancers in the outer areas of the lung (periphery) that have not spread.

Key Points: 
  • "We also witnessed a trend toward better breathing ability in patients who had less lung tissue removed, which could be especially beneficial for people with reduced respiratory function."
  • But newer imaging and staging methods, including lung cancer screening with CT scanning, have helped doctors find smaller and earlier tumors.
  • The authors concluded that sublobar resection is an effective treatment for people with stage 1 node-negative NSCLC and small tumors.
