Sublobar resection has emerged as an alternative to lobectomy for management of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, controversy remains as to whether it is adequate for elderly patients. The present study aimed to comparatively study the perioperative outcomes and overall survival of sublobar resection vs. lobectomy for management of elderly patients (≥65 years) with clinical stage I NSCLC.
