Is the rate of pneumonectomy higher in right middle lobe lung cancer than in other right-sided locations?

Abstract
:

Historically, right middle lobe (RML) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been reported to be associated with a higher rate of pneumonectomy than other right-sided locations. Because this would discourage minimally invasive approaches in RML-NSCLC, we sought to update this assertion through the study of a large surgical series.
