Outcomes of superior segmentectomy versus lower lobectomy for superior segment Stage I non‐small‐cell lung cancer are equivalent: An analysis of 196 patients at a single, high volume institution

To determine if superior segmentectomy has equivalent overall (OS), disease‐free (DFS), and locoregional‐recurrence‐free survival (LRFS) to lower lobectomy for early‐stage non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the superior segment.
