Wedge resection: Wedge resection is a surgical procedure that is done to remove a wedge-shaped section of lung tissue, usually for treating lung cancer. A wedge resection is less invasive than some of the other surgical options used to remove lung cancer.
Study summary
This is a clinical trial from the Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP), numbered as ECTOP-1020. The goal of this clinical trial is to confirm the therapeutic effect of Wedge resection for ground-glass opacity-featured lung cancer with a size less than 2cm and a consolidation-to-tumor ratio between 0.25 to 0.5.
