Background Data comparing survival after lobectomy versus that after segmentectomy for stage I non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are limited to single-institution observational studies and 1 clinical trial. We sought to determine if lobectomy offers a survival advantage over segmentectomy for stage...
