Abstract
Increased margin distance was independently associated with lower risk of recurrence and longer overall survival in patients undergoing wedge resection for NSCLC tumors less than or equal to 2 cm. These findings suggest that with a minimum appropriate margin distance, wedge resection may yield outcomes comparable to those of lobectomy.
