Remember me
Current guidelines recommend anatomic lung resection of typical bronchopulmonary carcinoids. Typical carcinoid tumors have excellent prognosis and sublobar resection has been associated with noninferior long-term survival. It's unclear whether wedge resection is acceptable for small typical carcinoid tumors. We hypothesize there is no difference in survival between wedge resection and segmentectomy for Stage I typical bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors. Using the National Cancer Database from 2010 to 2016, we identified clinical T1N0M0 typical bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors by wedge resection or segmentectomy.
