TL;DR
Lobectomy may not be preferred as an appropriate surgical modality for patients with stage I non-small cell lung carcinoma with small peripheral nodules who exhibit poor pulmonary function, especially lowered FEV(1)%.
Abstract
Along with tumor size, FEV(1)% is the most significant prognostic factor for patients with stage I non-small cell lung carcinoma with regard to survival from death by other causes. Lobectomy may not be preferred as an appropriate surgical modality for patients with stage I non-small cell lung carcinoma with small peripheral nodules who exhibit poor pulmonary function, especially lowered FEV(1)%.

Three facts emerge as significant: (1) Systematic lymph node dissection is necessary to ensure that the disease is accurately staged; (2) lesser resections (wedge/segment) result in high recurrence rates and reduced survival regardless of histologic type; and (3) second primary lung cancers are prevalent in long-term survivors.
