“…These comprise wide wedge excision with the use of stapling devices and purely anatomical segmentectomies, which are technically more difficult to perform, especially by minimally invasive techniques. Also, the need for systematic nodal dissection as defined by a working group of the IASLC has been questioned for these early stage lesions 17 . Many phase II studies, most of them originating from Japan, indeed showed that GGNs, pathologically corresponding to AIS and MIA in most cases, can be treated with a limited resection, yielding 5-year disease-free survival rates exceeding 95%.…”

Recently, major changes have occurred in the staging, diagnosis, and treatment of early stage lung cancer. By screening high-risk populations, we are now able to detect lung cancers at an early stage, but the false-positive rate is high. A new pathological classification was published in 2011 and fully incorporated in the 2015 World Health Organisation (WHO) Classification of Tumours of the Lung, Pleura, Thymus, and Heart. The new eighth edition of the tumour–node–metastasis (TNM) staging system has been fully published and will be in use from January 2017. T1 lesions are subdivided into T1a, T1b, and T1c lesions corresponding to lung cancers up to 10 mm, between 11 and 20 mm, and between 21 and 30 mm, respectively. To determine the size, only the solid part on computed tomographic scanning of the chest and the invasive part on pathological examination will be considered. Prognosis is significantly better for the smallest lesions. For some specific subgroups, sublobar resection may be oncologically valid and yield good long-term outcome, but the results of recently performed randomised trials are awaited.
