      Background

      Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been widely used in the treatment of early-stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there has not been a robust randomized control trial (RCT) to conclude VATS has similar oncologic efficacy to open surgery. Therefore, a large multicenter RCT in China was designed and initialed in order to verify the role of VATS.

      A non-inferiority phase 3 RCT was undertaken at five thoracic surgical centers in China. Patients aged 18-75 years who were diagnosed of clinically early-stage NSCLCs were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into VATS and thoracotomy groups. Radical lobectomy plus hilar and mediastinal lymph node dissection was the standard surgical intervention as per protocol. The long-term oncologic outcomes including 3-year locoregional recurrence rate, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) would be analyzed and reported here. This study is registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01102517.

      A total of 508 patients were recruited in the trial between January 2008 and March 2014. And 433 patients were eligible for final analysis (222 cases in VATS group and 211 cases in thoracotomy group). At 3 years, the locoregional recurrence rates were 4.5% in VATS group and 5.7% in thoracotomy group respectively (P=0.664). Patients who received VATS procedures had a similar DFS rate to those who underwent open surgery (66% versus 69%, P=0.925; Fig 1A). Again, the 3-year OS rates were of no significant difference between VATS and thoracotomy groups (74% versus 73%, P=0.382; Fig 1B).

      VATS in the treatment of clinically early-stage NSCLCs was associated with equivalent oncologic efficacy when compared to open surgery.
