Abstract Purpose As the number of cases of early lung cancer in Japan grows, an analysis of the present status of surgical treatments for clinical stage IA lung cancer using a nationwide database with web-based data entry is warranted. Methods The operative and perioperative data from 47,921 patients who underwent surgery for clinical stage IA lung cancer in 2014 and 2015 were obtained from the National Clinical Database (NCD) of Japan. Clinicopathological characteristics, surgical procedure, mortality, and morbidity were analyzed, and thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) were compared. Results The patients comprised 27,208 men (56.8%) and 20,713 women (43.2%); mean age, 69.3 years. Lobectomy was performed in 64.8%, segmentectomy in 15.2%, and wedge resection in 19.8%. The surgical procedures were thoracotomy in 12,194 patients (25.4%) and a minimally invasive approach (MIA) in 35,727 patients (74.6%). MIA was divided into VATS + mini-thoracotomy (n = 13,422, 28.0%) and complete VATS (n = 22,305, 46.5%). The overall postoperative mortality rate was 0.4%, being significantly lower in the MIA group than in the thoracotomy group (0.3% vs 0.8%, P < 0.001). Conclusions Our analysis of data from the NCD indicates that MIA has become the new standard treatment for clinical stage IA lung cancer.

Abstract Anatomical segmentectomy or wedge resection is recommended for high-risk operable patients with clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer in guidelines of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the Japanese Lung Cancer Society. However, there is no clear evidence comparing the sublobar resections. The less invasive and more generally performed is wedge resection but anatomical segmentectomy may have better survival benefits than wedge resection owing to its superiority in locoregional control. In April 2020, we have initiated a randomized phase III trial in Japan to confirm the superiority of anatomical segmentectomy over wedge resection in high-risk operable patients with clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer. We plan to enroll a total of 370 patients from 47 institutions over a period of 5 years. The primary endpoint is overall survival; the secondary endpoints are adverse events, postoperative respiratory function, relapse-free survival, proportion of local recurrence, operative time and blood loss.

AbstractOBJECTIVESAlthough segmentectomy for lung cancer has been widely accepted, complex segmentectomy, which creates several, intricate intersegmental planes, remains controversial. Potential arguments include risk of incurability and ‘failure of cancer control’. We compared the outcomes of complex segmentectomy versus lobectomy and evaluated its use in lung cancer treatment.METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed clinical stage IA lung cancer patients who underwent complex segmentectomy (n = 99) or location-adjusted lobectomy (n = 94) between April 2009 and December 2017. Clinicopathological and postoperative results were compared. Factors affecting survival were assessed by the Kaplan–Meier method and the Cox regression analysis.RESULTSNo significant differences were detected in 30-day mortality (0% vs 0%), overall complications (26.3% vs 21.3%) and prolonged air leakage (11.1% vs 9.6%) rates between the 2 groups, respectively. Comparable results were obtained for 5-year overall (93.5% vs 96.4%, respectively; P = 0.21) or recurrence-free (92.3% vs 88.5%, respectively; P = 0.82) survivals after complex segmentectomy or lobectomy. There were 2 (2.0%) recurrences after complex segmentectomy and 7 (7.5%) after lobectomy (P = 0.094), with 0 (0%) margin relapses in each group. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that complex segmentectomy and lobectomy had a numerically similar impact on recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio 0.93, 95% confidence interval 0.32–2.69; P = 0.90).CONCLUSIONSComplex segmentectomy can provide acceptable short- and long-term outcomes in lung cancer treatment.
