Lobectomy
Removing one lobe of the lung (the right lung has three, the left two). The standard operation for early lung cancer.
Lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node sampling is the reference treatment for stage I-II non-small-cell lung cancer, usually done by video-assisted (VATS) or robotic surgery through small incisions. Five-year survival is 70-90% for stage I. For small peripheral tumours (≤2 cm) segmentectomy proved non-inferior (JCOG0802, CALGB 140503), and SBRT is the alternative for patients too frail to operate. Perioperative chemo-immunotherapy or adjuvant osimertinib (ADAURA) now follows in many patients. Thyroid and liver lobectomies use the same word for a different organ.
