Lung cancer less than two centimeters in diameter is usually suitable for wedge resection, which is mainly used for the resection of isolated lesions at the lung margin. Lung cancer wedge resection is generally suitable for early stage lung cancer, mainly used for resection of isolated foci at the edge of the lung. For patients with lung cancer diameter less than two centimeters, with poor lung function, and unable to withstand wider resection, the resection range of this kind of surgery is relatively small, so the amount of lung loss is relatively small, and the impact on lung function is relatively small; however, the recurrence rate of this kind of surgery is relatively high. Patients with lung cancer should not blindly undergo surgery, but should comprehensively analyze their conditions according to the examination results and formulate individualized treatment plan under the guidance of physician’s interview; they should choose whether or not to undergo surgery or what kind of surgery to undergo according to the patient’s conditions. Lung cancer patients should not blindly do wedge resection surgery, but should weigh the pros and cons of doing surgery, and patients should not self-medicate to avoid adverse results.
