Long-term outcome of patients with peripheral ground-glass opacity-dominant lung cancer after sublobar resections.
This study aimed to evaluate the long-term prognosis of patients with peripheral small ground-glass opacity-dominant lung cancer after sublobar resection. We have already reported the 5-year safety and efficacy of sublobar resection and report the long-term outcomes after a 10-year follow-up period. ⋯ Peripheral ground-glass opacity-dominant lung cancer is cured by sublobar resection, with wedge resection as the first choice, and the indications for other treatment options should be further investigated. The incidence of second cancer is similar to that in the general Japanese population.
