Importance: The randomized clinical trial Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 140503 showed that for patients with clinically staged T1N0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; ≤2 cm), sublobar resections were associated with similar oncological outcomes to those after lobar resection. The association of the extent of parenchymal resection with recurrence and survival in patients with tumors pathologically upstaged to T2 based on visceral pleural invasion (VPI) is controversial.

Objective: To determine survival and recurrence rates in patients with small peripheral pT2 NSCLC (≤2 cm) that was treated by either lobar or sublobar resection in CALGB 140503.

Article Synopsis
  • A clinical trial was conducted to compare sublobar resection and lobar resection for patients with small non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) clinically staged as T1aN0, focusing on disease-free survival as the main outcome.
  • After studying 697 patients over a median follow-up of 7 years, results showed that sublobar resection is similarly effective as lobar resection in terms of disease-free survival and overall survival.
  • Both types of surgery demonstrated similar rates of recurrence and survival, with slightly better pulmonary function outcomes reported for patients who underwent sublobar resection.

Investors, entrepreneurs, health care pundits, and venture capital firms all agree that the health care sector is awaiting a digital revolution. Steven Case, in 2016, predicted a "third wave" of innovation that would leverage big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to transform medicine and finally achieve reduced costs, improved efficiency, and better patient outcomes. Academic medical centers (AMCs) have the infrastructure and resources needed by digital health intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs to innovate, iterate, and optimize technology solutions for the major pain points of modern medicine.

Objectives Lymphadenectomy does not improve overall survival outcomes in patients with low-risk endometrial cancers. Sentinel node mapping has a high detection rate and accuracy; however, its prognostic implications have not been well explored. We evaluated the overall survival and therapies received by patients undergoing varied lymph node dissection approaches for high-risk endometrial cancers.
