Abstrakt: Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess variations in surgical stage distribution in 2 centres within the same UK region. One centre was covered by an active screening program started in November 2018 and the other was not covered by screening.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 1895 patients undergoing lung resections (2018-2022) in 2 centres. Temporal distribution was tested using Chi-squared for trends. A lowess curve was used to plot the proportion of stage 1A patients amongst those operated over the years.
Results: The surgical populations in the 2 centres were similar. In the screening unit (SU), we observed a 18% increase in the proportion of patients with clinical stage IA in the recent phase compared to the early phase (59% vs 50%, P = 0.004), whilst this increase was not seen in the unit without screening. This difference was attributable to an increase of cT1aN0 patients in the SU (16% vs 11%, P = 0.035) which was not observed in the other unit (10% vs 8.2%, P = 0.41). In the SU, there was also a three-fold increase in the proportion of sublobar resections performed in the recent phase compared to the early one (35% vs 12%, P < 0.001). This finding was not evident in the unit without screening.
Conclusions: Lung cancer screening is associated with a higher proportion of lung cancers being detected at an earlier stage with a consequent increased practice of sublobar resections.
