The CCTG BRC5 abstract was presented at the 2022 World Conference on Lung Cancer in Vienna, Austria as a Plenary 3: Presidential Symposium - Top Rated Abstracts. The presentation concluded that Sublobar resection (including wedge) are equivalent to lobectomy for stage I lung cancer <2cm. There is the potential that this could become a new standard of care with no difference in DFS or OS and similar rates of recurrence.
