Résumé
Minimal literature exists evaluating the impact of the extent of resection on survival in patients with small, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) found to have occult nodal disease. We hypothesized that sublobar resection has comparable overall survival to patients undergoing lobectomy for clinical stage IA NSCLC that harbors occult nodal disease. The National Cancer Database was reviewed for identification of patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC who underwent wedge resection, segmentectomy, or lobectomy and were found to have occult nodal disease. Overall survival was compared between groups, and a multivariate Cox regression model identified factors associated with worse survival. Occult nodal disease occurred in 6.1% of all patients with clinical stage IA disease undergoing resection. Patients undergoing wedge resection and segmentectomy found to have occult nodal disease were older (67.6 ± 9.6 years of age vs 66.1 ± 9.3 years of age vs 65.6 ± 9.5 years of age; P = .004) and had more advanced pathologic stage (pStage III: 68.7% vs 50.5% vs 41.5%; P < .001) than those receiving lobectomy. There was no difference in the median overall survival between segmentectomy and lobectomy (68.5 months vs 57.6 months; P = .200). However, wedge resection was independently associated with worse overall survival when controlling for other preoperative variables (hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.51; P = .042). Review of the National Cancer Database suggests that there is no improvement in overall survival in patients undergoing lobectomy vs segmentectomy in carefully selected patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC harboring occult nodal disease. However, those undergoing wedge resection may have worse overall survival than those undergoing both lobectomy and segmentectomy.

BACKGROUND
Minimal literature exists evaluating the impact of the extent of resection on survival in patients with small, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) found to have occult nodal disease. We hypothesized that sublobar resection has comparable overall survival to patients undergoing lobectomy for clinical stage IA NSCLC that harbors occult nodal disease.
METHODS
The National Cancer Database was reviewed for identification of patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC who underwent wedge resection, segmentectomy, or lobectomy and were found to have occult nodal disease. Overall survival was compared between groups, and a multivariate Cox regression model identified factors associated with worse survival.
RESULTS
Occult nodal disease occurred in 6.1% of all patients with clinical stage IA disease undergoing resection. Patients undergoing wedge resection and segmentectomy found to have occult nodal disease were older (67.6 ± 9.6 years of age vs 66.1 ± 9.3 years of age vs 65.6 ± 9.5 years of age; P = .004) and had more advanced pathologic stage (pStage III: 68.7% vs 50.5% vs 41.5%; P < .001) than those receiving lobectomy. There was no difference in the median overall survival between segmentectomy and lobectomy (68.5 months vs 57.6 months; P = .200). However, wedge resection was independently associated with worse overall survival when controlling for other preoperative variables (hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.51; P = .042).
CONCLUSIONS
Review of the National Cancer Database suggests that there is no improvement in overall survival in patients undergoing lobectomy vs segmentectomy in carefully selected patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC harboring occult nodal disease. However, those undergoing wedge resection may have worse overall survival than those undergoing both lobectomy and segmentectomy.
