Abstract
Background: Despite the widespread adoption of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for major lung resection, the 10-year long-term survival outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with VATS compared with open major lung resection is lacking. The purpose of this study was to analyze the short- and long-term outcomes of VATS vs. open major lung resection for NSCLC.
Methods: The perioperative outcomes and long-term survival of p-stage I-III NSCLC patients who underwent major lung resection via VATS vs. open major lung resection in the Western China Lung Cancer Database (WCLCD) between May 2006 and June 2018 were studied using propensity score matching (PSM).
Results: Of the 10,167 patients who underwent surgery for lung malignancies, 6,405 patients with stage I-III NSCLC were included in the study, including 4,224 in the VATS group and 2,181 in the open group. PSM resulted in 1,487 patients in both the VATS and open groups. The patients were matched by patient demographics, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), tumor histology and TNM stage. Compared with open surgery, major lung resection via VATS resulted in less blood loss (median: 50 vs. 100 mL, P<0.001) and a shorter postoperative hospital stay (7.6±6.0 vs. 8.6±4.9 days, P<0.001) but higher total hospital costs (52.5±21.2 vs. 45.0±16.4 kRMB, P<0.001). The matched cohort showed that patients who underwent major lung resection via VATS had better overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) than did patients who underwent major lung resection via open surgery (5-year survival: 64.9% vs. 57.7%, P<0.001; 5-year RFS: 50.3% vs. 45.3%, P=0.003). Patients who underwent VATS had a better 10-year OS rate (47.8% vs. 42.6%). According to the subgroup analysis, patients with stage II NSCLC who underwent major lung resection via VATS had better OS and RFS (OS: P<0.001; RFS: P=0.004), while there were no significant differences in OS or RFS between stage I and III NSCLC patients.
Conclusions: Major lung resection via the VATS should be the preferred surgical option for stage I-III NSCLC patients due to its superior long-term survival outcome and advantages of less blood loss and shorter postoperative hospital stays.
