According to the 8 th edition TNM classification for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), tumor stage (T) is determined by the maximum size of the invasive component, without the lepidic component, and the T category has been further subdivided. We investigated the indications for wedge resection using the 8 th edition TNM staging system, which measures only the size of the invasive component in tumor size.
