Objective: The number of surgical interventions for small-sized lung cancer has increased with the development of computed tomography. We attempted to identify clinicopathologic characteristics of peripheral, small-sized, non-small cell lung cancer to show the limitation of partial resection or segmentectomy.Methods: A retrospective analysis of 143 patients who underwent a complete resection for a peripheral non-small cell lung cancer of 2 cm or less in diameter was performed. The relationships between nodal involvement and other clinical factors were also assessed in patients who underwent a lobectomy plus node dissection.Results: The overall 5-year survival rate was 88.1%. The 5-year survival rate was 100% for patients with a tumor of 1.5 cm or less. Survival for patients with adenocarcinoma histology was significantly better than for those with nonadenocarcinoma histology (P=.03). The 5-year survival rate for patients without lymph node metastases was 91.6%, whereas it was 62.5% for those with nodal involvement (P
