This article assesses the outcomes of segmentectomy versus lobectomy in treating peripheral, early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. In a multicenter study involving 674 patients, the authors compared overall survival (OS), lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS), and disease-free survival (DFS) between the two groups.

This article evaluates the effectiveness of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (IC+Chemo) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This large-scale study involved 1,092 patients from 11 medical centers and compared outcomes between those who received IC+Chemo and those who received chemotherapy alone.
