An assessment of regional lung resection outcomes relative to compliance with NCCN resection guidelines was performed. Negative margins 94%, 91% anatomic, 51% hilar nodes sampled, 26% 3 mediastinal nodal stations sampled. On average, 17% of resections met all criteria, although the trend was upward over time.

Evidence for the benefit of sleeve lobectomy over pneumonectomy for lung cancer is limited. This 10 year retrospective nationwide study compared propensity score matched sleeve resection and pneumonectomy patients (794 in each group). Postoperative outcomes and long-term disease-free survival were superior in the sleeve resection patients when matc
