abstract = {Background: Sublobar resection has emerged as an alternative to lobectomy for management of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, controversy remains as to whether it is adequate for elderly patients. The present study aimed to comparatively study the perioperative outcomes and overall survival of sublobar resection vs. lobectomy for management of elderly patients (≥65 years) with clinical stage I NSCLC.
Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Clinical stage I NSCLC patients who underwent lobar or sublobar resection (segmentectomy and wedge resection) at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of 10 tertiary hospitals between January 2014 and September 2017 were retrospectively reviewed from the national collaborative prospective lung cancer database (LinkDoc Technology Co, Ltd., Beijing, China). Clinical data on demographic and tumor characteristics, surgical details were collected. Perioperative outcomes and overall survival were analyzed by using propensity score matching to adjust for selection bias. Subgroup analysis was further carried out to explore the potential sources of heterogeneity.
Results: Among the 1,579 eligible patients, 1,164 (73.7%) underwent lobectomy and 415 (26.3%) underwent sublobar resection (106 segmentectomy and 309 wedge resection). Sublobar resection was more frequently performed in patients who were elder, had more comorbidities and smaller, left-sided adenocarcinoma (P},
