      Background:
      In last years, an increasing interest emerges on the role of sub-lobar resection and lobe-specific lymphnode dissection in the treatment of early stage lung cancer. The aim of our study was to define impact on Cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR) of type of surgical resection and type of nodal staging. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of interactions between the different kinds of procedure.

      Method:
      An analysis of 969 consecutive stage I pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients, operated in six Thoracic Surgery Institutions between 2001 and 2013, was conducted. Type of surgical resection included lobectomy and sub-lobar resection; pneumonectomy and bilobectomy were excluded from the analysis. Nodal staging procedures were classified in nodal sampling (NS), lobe-specific lymph node dissection (LS-ND) and systematic lymph node dissection (SND). Multivariable-adjusted comparisons for CIR was performed using Fine and Grey model, taking into account death by any cause as competing event. Test of interaction between type of surgical resection and type of nodal staging was carried out and results presented in a stratified way. Missing data were multiple-imputed, combined estimates were obtained from 5 imputed datasets.

      Result:

      Multivariable-adjusted Fine and Grey model for Comulative Incidence of Recurrence (take into account age, gender, smoking habit, side of intervention, pTNM stage, vascular invasion, pTNM stage, predominant histologic pattern and histologic grade)(Results of test of interaction presented in a stratified way)
      Sub-lobar resection vs. Lobectomy HR (95%CI) P INTERACTION P-value
      Overall 1.52 (1.07 to 2.17) 0.02 0.268
      SND 1.98 (1.14 to 3.42)
      LS-ND 1.87 (0.94 to 3.74)
      NS 1.08 (0.61 to 1.93)
      LS-ND vs SND HR (95%CI) P INTERACTION P-value
      Overall 1.74 (1.16 to 2.6) 0.007 0.903
      Lobectomy 1.66 (1.03 to 2.69)
      Sub-lobar resection 1.58 (0.75 to 3.32)
      NS vs. SND HR (95%CI) P INTERACTION P-value
      Overall 1.49 (1.12 to 1.98) 0.007 0.131
      Lobectomy 1.61 (1.18 to 2.19)
      Sub-lobar resection 0.88 (0.43 to 1.82)
      Median follow-up was 63 months. Eight-hundred forty-six (87%) patients were submitted to lobectomy, while 123(13%) to sub-lobar resection. Four-hundred fifty-five (47%) patients received SND, 98(10%) LS-ND and 416(43%) NS. Two-hundred forty-seven (26%) patients developed a local/distant recurrence with a 5-year CIR of 24%. Multivariable-adjusted comparisons showed an independent negative effect of sub-lobar resection(HR 1.52;95%CI:1.07-2.17), LS-ND(HR 1.74;95%CI:1.16-2.6) and NS(HR 1.49;95%CI:1.12-1.98) on CIR(Table). Test of interaction showed an homogeneity of results among subgroups.

      Conclusion:
      In our series, lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection confirmed to be the optimal strategy to achieve a favorable prognosis in stage I adenocarcinoma of the lung. The real value of sub-lobar resection and less aggressive nodal staging should be assessed by randomized clinical trial before being integrated in clinical practice.
