Japanese Oncology Group 0802: Another giant leap

[摘要] Feature Editor Note—The momentum for pulmonary segmentectomy in patients with non–small cell lung cancer was brisk even before the recent publication of the practice-changing Japanese Oncology Group (JCOG) 0802 randomized trial, which demonstrated equivalency of segmentectomy and lobectomy for overall survival in patients treated for select non–small cell lung cancer tumors. Since publication of this trial and bolstered by the recent presentation of data from the international Cancer and Leukemia Group B/Alliance 140503 trial that randomized patients to sublobar resection or lobectomy, this momentum has only accelerated.
