A lobectomy removes the lobe of the lung where the tumour is. This is the main type of surgery for stage 1 non–small cell lung cancer. It offers the best chance that the cancer will be completely removed. A wedge or segmental resection removes the tumour along with a margin of healthy lung tissue around the tumour.
