Short‐term local control after VATS segmentectomy and lobectomy for solid NSCLC of less than 2 cm

Introduction VATS pulmonary segmentectomy is increasingly proposed as a parenchyma‐sparing resection for tumors smaller than 2 cm in diameter. The aim of this study was to compare short‐term oncological results and local control in solid non‐small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs)
This study analyzes the short‐term oncological results and local control of solid NSCLC smaller than 2 cm, surgically treated by intentional VATS segmentectomy or lobectomy. Despite the short follow‐up, our preliminary data shows that local control is comparable for VATS lobectomy and VATS segmentectomy for patients with NSCLC
