Although an association between prognosis and lobar location of lung cancer, particularly the left lower lobe (LLL), has been suggested, the certainty of such association remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of tumour lobar location on surgical outcomes as an independent prognostic factor for survival in our non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient series.
