Abstract

Results of surgery for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are poorer after limited resection, wedge and segmentectomy, than after lobectomy. Guidelines recommend avoiding wedge-resection, which new techniques (radiofrequency ablation and cyberknife) tend to replace. This work aimed to study the wedge-resection carcinological value. NSCLC without previous other cancer history and neoadjuvant therapy measuring less than 31 millimetres and operated from 1980 to 2009 were reviewed. Analyzed variables were: location, gender, age, FEVS, type of resection, histology, pT and pN. There were 66 wedge-resections (10.9%), 32 segmentectomies (5.3%), 507 lobectomies (83.8%), nine postoperative deaths (1.5%), 136 complications (22.5%), 557 complete resections (R0=92%); 72.2% of NSCLC upper lobe location (437/605). Age was more advanced in wedge-resection and segmentectomy, FEVS lower and NSCLC most often a squamous cell pN0 and pStage I carcinoma than in lobectomy. Lymphadenectomy was not performed in half the wedge-resections. Five-year survival rates were poorer after wedge-resection: 50% versus segmentectomy 59.8% (P=0.09), and lobectomy 66% (P=0.0035), but the number of recurrences was similar. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age,...Continue Reading
