OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify the risk factors for pulmonary functional deterioration after wedge resection for early-stage lung cancer with ground-glass opacity, which remain unclear, particularly in low-risk patients. METHODS: We analyzed 237 patients who underwent wedge resection for peripheral early-stage lung cancer in JCOG0804/WJOG4507L, a Phase III, single-arm confirmatory trial. The changes in forced expiratory volume in 1 second were calculated pre- and postoperatively, and a cutoff value of - 10%, the previously reported reduction rete after lobectomy, was used to divide the patients into two groups: the severely-reduced group ( ≤ -10%) and normal group ( > -10%)...
