  • Quality of Life after Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery or Minimal Incision Thoracotomy for Early Stage Non small Cell Lung Cancer : A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

    Abstract: Objective To evaluate video-assisted thoracic surgery(VATS)and minimal incision thoracotomy(MIT)lobectomy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer patients and the impact upon postoperative quality of life(QOL). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. From January 1, 2008 to December 10, 2011, the qualified patients with early stage NSCLC were recruited and randomized to VATS group (57 patients)and MIT group(49 patients), totally 106 patients,57 males and 49 females, aged 57.60 years. The quality of life was assessed using Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) before operation and at 1,3,6,9,12 months after operation. Results There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in age, sex, the location of tumor, tumor pathologic stage, pathological types, postoperative complications, tumor size, operative time, operative bleeding and air leak days. There were no symptoms after operation at the VATS group worse than the leve before operation. Five major symptoms, including appetit(1.04±0.71 vs.2.00±0.83, F=6.357,P=0.021), fatigue (4.55±1.17 vs.10.19±2.10, F=4.721,P=0.043), dyspnea(2.18±0.86 vs.10.26±2.05, F=10.020,P=0.005), normal activity(5.16±1.70 vs.17.60±3.17, F=12.319,P=0.002)at the MIT group were deteriorated significantly at 1 month after the operation (P<0.05). Conclusion The VATS will lead to better quality of life for the patients with early stage NSCLC after surgery and lead to a smooth postoperative recovery.
