Purpose : A sufficient resection margin is required for the sublobar resection of lung cancers. However, the distance of the resection margin may not be important in lepidic-dominant adenocarcinoma, because such tumors are non- or less invasive. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of resection margin distance on the outcome of patients with lepidic-dominant lung cancer after sublobar resection.

Methods : This study included 133 patients with small (≤2 cm), clinical N0M0 lung cancer who underwent sublobar resection with curative intent. The patients were divided into 4 groups: Group A, lepidic-dominant tumor with margin/tumor ratio <1; Group B, lepidic-dominant tumor with margin/tumor ratio ≥1; Group C, non-lepidic tumor with margin/tumor ratio <1; Group D, non-lepidic tumor with margin/tumor ratio ≥1. The clinicopathological features and survival outcomes between Group A and B patients, and between Group C and D patients were compared.

Results : The 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates of Group A and B patients were both 100%. The 5-year RFS rates of Group C and D patients were 49.9% and 97.1%, respectively (p=0.009). By multivariate analysis, the margin/tumor ratio was a significant independent factor for recurrence in patients with nonlepidic tumors (hazard ratio = 0.157, 95% confidence interval 0.027-0.898; p=0.037).

Conclusion : Tumor recurrence after sublobar resection is not associated with short resection margins in patients with lepidic dominant lung cancer. However, a short resection margin is a significant risk factor for recurrence in patients with non-lepidic tumors.
