Abstract 4678

Background

Lobectomy is the most performed surgical procedure for lung cancer, however, patients who are eligible to lobectomy undergo wedge resection. The purpose of this study is to compare the survival of patients who underwent wedge resection versus lobectomy.

Methods

Using SEER18 Registries Research Database, we collected the data of 638 patients diagnosed with lung cancer from 2010 to 2012. Out of these patients, 423 underwent wedge resection, while 156 had lobectomy. We assessed the prognostic value of age, sex, stage, laterality and primary site. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.

Results

Patients with lung cancer who underwent lobectomy had significantly better 3-year relative survival rates 47.2% than those who underwent wedge resection (47.2% versus 26.7%, respectively, p-value = 0.044). Subgroup analysis revealed better survival rates among female patients and stage III lung cancer. However, no advantage was associated with specific age, laterality, or primary site.Table: 1816P

Conclusions

Patients who underwent lobectomy were associated with better 3-year relative survival rate compared to wedge resection.
