Comparison of the Outcomes between Systematic Lymph Node Dissection and Lobe-Specific Lymph Node Dissection for Stage I Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Background: This study compares the surgical and long-term outcomes, including disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS), between lobe-specific lymph node dissection (L-SND) and systematic lymph node dissection (SND) among patients with stage I non-small...

description | Background: This study compares the surgical and long-term outcomes, including disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS), between lobe-specific lymph node dissection (L-SND) and systematic lymph node dissection (SND) among patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: In this retrospective study, 107 patients diagnosed with clinical stage I NSCLC undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy (exclusion of the right middle lobe) from January 2011 to December 2018 were enrolled. The patients were assigned to the L-SND (<i>n</i> = 28) and SND (<i>n</i> = 79) groups according to the procedure performed on them. Demographics, perioperative data, and surgical and long-term oncological outcomes were collected and compared between the L-SND and SND groups. Results: The mean follow-duration was 60.6 months. The demographic data and surgical outcomes and long-term oncological outcomes were not significantly different between the two groups. The 5-year OS of the L-SND and SND groups was 82% and 84%, respectively. The 5-year DFS of the L-SND and SND groups was 70% and 65%, respectively. The 5-year CSS of the L-SND and SND groups was 80% and 86%, respectively. All the surgical and long-term outcomes were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusion: L-SND showed comparable surgical and oncologic outcomes with SND for clinical stage I NSCLC. L-SND could be a treatment choice for stage I NSCLC. |
