	abstract = {Owing to the advances in imaging techniques such as thin-section computed tomography (CT) and 3D imaging, lung cancer can now be diagnosed at an early stage. The detection of small-sized lung cancer, including the 1 cm in diameter or less, is remarkably increasing. As a consequence, in 2015 the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) proposed the new TNM staging system of lung and pleural tumours, in which T1 (≤3 cm) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors were divided based on tumour size into T1a (≤1 cm), T1b (>1 and ≤2 cm) and T1c (>2 and ≤3 cm) (1). In this scenario several studies have investigated the role of limited resections, such as wedge and segmentectomy, in the treatment of small size lung cancer (},
