lung cancer stages :: Article Creator Real-World Practice Upholds Lobectomy For Early-Stage Lung Cancer LOS ANGELES -- Surgeries to remove small tumors in stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were associated with varying odds of long-term survival depending on the amount of lung removed, based on real-world data collected from across the country. 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, MD, of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, at the annual meeting of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). Lobectomy was associated with a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality relative to sublobar resections in general (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.83-0.92), though on closer inspection, this was really an advantage over wedge resections (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.80-0.88) but not segmentectomy (HR 0.96, ...
