"Long term survival with thoracoscopic versus open lobectomy: propensity matched comparative analysis using SEER-Medicare database"
"Conclusion This propensity matched analysis showed that patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy had similar overall, cancer specific, and disease-free survival compared with patients undergoing thoracotomy lobectomy. Thoracoscopic techniques do not seem to compromise these measures of outcome after lobectomy."
