title: Meta-analysis for curative effect of lobectomy and segmentectomy on non-small cell lung cancer.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To systematically evaluate 5-year survival, local recurrence rate, long-term recurrence rate and complications for lobectomy and segmentectomy in the treatment of NSCLC.
  
  
  METHODS
  Articles on randomized and non-randomized clinical studies of 5-year survival, local recurrence, long-term recurrence and complications after lobectomy and segmentectomy for treatment of NSCLC.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among the included patients, no difference was found between the two groups in local recurrence. However, the incidence of complication in the segmentectomy group was found to be significantly higher than in the lobectomy group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For treatment of NSCLC, as compared with segmentectomy, suggesting that lobectomy is the preferable method.
