Subsegment-based versus segment-based anatomical sublobar resection for lung cancer: A propensity score-matched analysis

Key Points

• Subsegment-based anatomical sublobar resection shows improved outcomes for lung cancer patients.
• Survival rates were significantly higher in those receiving subsegment-based procedures, specifically at a 5-year mark.
• Analysis involving propensity score matching evaluated patient data from multiple centers to ensure validity.
• This analysis guides treatment options, yet requires further investigation through diverse patient cohorts.
