Wedge resection versus lobectomy in T1 lung cancer patients: a propensity matched analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Moon, R. J., Taylor, R., Miklavc, P., Mehdi, S. B., Grant, S. W., & Bittar, M. N. (in press). Wedge resection versus lobectomy in T1 lung cancer patients: a propensity matched analysis. Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 18(1), 252. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13019-023-02303-4

Objectives: Performing wedge resection rather than lobectomy for primary lung cancer remains controversial. Recent studies demonstrate no survival advantage for non-anatomical resection compared to lobectomy in patients with early-stage lung cancer....
