The Japan Clinical Oncology Group 0802 (JCOG 0802) recently conducted a pivotal randomized controlled trial [1] that compared the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival rates of lobectomies and segmentectomies for tumors less than 2 cm in diameter. These findings highlighted the value of the segmentectomy...
