[Email:](Email: hubin705@aliyun.com)[ hubin705@aliyun.com](Email: hubin705@aliyun.com)  \nAbstract  \nBackground: Sublobar resection (wedge resection and segmentectomy) has been established as an oncologically equivalent option to lobectomy for early-stage patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ≤ 2 cm. However, the optimal approach of sublobar resection remains subject to debate. In the present study we aimed to compare the oncological outcomes of wedge resection and segmentectomy in these patients.  \nMethods: We identified patients with pT1a-bN0M0 NSCLC who underwent wedge resection and segmentectomy from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2010 and 2020 . A Cox regression model and propensity-score matching (PSM) analysis were used. Overall survival (OS) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) were compared using the Kaplan–Meier method.  \nResults: A total of 4190 patients met our selection criteria, including wedge resection in 3137 and segmentectomy in 1053 . Patients undergoing wedge resection were less likely to have total lymph nodes resected (4 vs. 7, p \u003C 0.001) . Before PSM, patients undergoing segmentectomy had a higher 5-year OS rate (87.75% vs. 82.72%; p = 0.0023), while exhibiting a similar LCSS rate (93.45% vs. 92.73%; p = 0.32) . After PSM, segmentectomy consistently demonstrated significantly better OS and there was no statistically significant difference in LCSS. Analysis of causes of death revealed that a higher incidence of deaths related to other causes among patients undergoing wedge resection compared to those undergoing segmentectomy.  \nConclusions: Both wedge resection and segmentectomy yield comparable oncological outcomes for patients with NSCLC ≤ 2 cm, although segmentectomy exhibits superior OS due to less death related to other causes.  \nKEYW ORD S  \nnon-small cell lung cancer, segmentectomy, survival, wedge resection  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe efficacy of oncological outcomes associated with performing lobectomy or sublobar resection (including segmentectomy and wedge resection) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been a subject of debate and investigation since the 1970s and 1980s.1–3 In the era dominated by plain chest radiography as the most prevailing imaging modality, the results of the Lung Cancer Study Group’s randomized controlled trial, indicated that a 75% increase in recurrence rates and a 30% higher overall death  \nrate with sublobar resection compared to lobectomy for patients with lung cancer ≤3 cm,4 has been controversial for a long time. Consequently, sublobar resection has been performed in the management of lung cancer in highly selected patients who are not candidates for a full lobectomy due to advanced age, severely compromised pulmonary function, or other comorbidities.5 However, in several observational studies, owing to major advances in early detection and staging of NSCLC, sublobar resection, particularly segmentectomy, has been proven to achieve oncological equivalence for early-stage patients with lung cancer ≤ 2 cm.5–10  \nThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License, which permits use an","cbCaiddw3cxAZrCk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiddw3cxAZrCk","pdf",1772015,"English","# Introduction\n## Background and rationale for sublobar resection\n## Evidence from trials and observational studies\n## Unresolved question comparing wedge resection vs segmentectomy\n# Methods\n## Data source and patient selection\n## Statistical analyses (Cox regression, PSM)\n## Survival comparisons (Kaplan–Meier)\n# Results\n## Baseline comparison and lymph node retrieval\n## Pre- and post-matching OS and LCSS outcomes\n## Cause-of-death patterns\n# Conclusions","[{\"question\":\"What clinical question does the study address?\",\"answer\":\"It compares oncological outcomes of wedge resection versus segmentectomy in patients with pathological stage IA NSCLC (≤2 cm).\"},{\"question\":\"How were patients selected and how was bias controlled?\",\"answer\":\"Patients with pT1a-bN0M0 NSCLC who underwent wedge resection or segmentectomy were identified from the SEER database (2010–2020).
