Abstract
To maximize the benefits of computed tomographic screening for lung cancer, optimal treatment for small, early lung cancers is needed. Limiting the extent of surgery spares lung tissue, preserves pulmonary function, and decreases operative time, complications, and morbidities. It also increases the likelihood of resecting future new primary lung cancers. The goal is to assess alternative treatments in a timely manner.
