Is segmentectomy actually superior to lobectomy for early-stage lung cancer? A discrepancy between the JCOG0802 trial and real-world practice
In this single-center retrospective study, segmentectomy was associated with numerically improved overall survival rates than lobectomy in JCOG0802-eligible patients not enrolled in the trial, although the difference was not statistically significant. Given the study's retrospective nature and underpowered statistics with a small sample size, these findings should be interpreted cautiously.
