We Asked the Experts: Minimally Invasive Segmentectomy for Early Stage Lung Cancer - Will it Replace Lobectomy? At the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) World Conference on Lung Cancer in August 2022, Dr Nasser Altorki presented the results of the Cancer and Leukemia Group B 140,503 (Alliance) phase III randomized study comparing lobar versus sublobar resection for clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with tumor size <= 2 cm [[1]].
