Lobectomy-First vs. Lymphadenectomy-First for Operable NSCLC (LOFTY)

Sponsor: Sun Yat-sen University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

During the surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), lymphadenectomy or lobectomy are performed first, different surgeons have different choices. Oncology textbooks require dissecting distant lymph nodes (LNs) first and then dissecting nearby LNs. According to this requirement, thoracic surgeons should first perform lymphadenectomy and then lobectomy. Unfortunately, there is no high-level evidence to prove which surgical sequence is more beneficial to the long-term survival of NSCLC patients. In this multi-center randomized controlled trial (RCT), patients with stage I-II NSCLC were enrolled as the research object to determine which surgical sequence (lymphadenectomy-first vs. lobectomy-first) is better for the short-term and long-term outcomes in NSCLC patients.
