摘要

肺癌是中国发病率和死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤，外科手术是肺癌治疗的重要手段。2025年，肺癌外科治疗领域取得了多项重要进展。ECTOP-1021研究证实，对惰性多发性磨玻璃结节在“外科治愈窗口期”内进行主动监测安全可行，并提出基于肺功能损失评估的分层管理策略。ECTOP-1009研究首次通过Ⅲ期随机对照试验为以磨玻璃成分为主型的肺癌不进行纵隔淋巴结清扫提供了高级别循证医学依据，实现从“系统性清扫”到“选择性豁免”的范式转变。JCOG0802研究的10年随访结果显示，肺段切除术不劣于肺叶切除术，但局部复发率高于肺叶切除术，提示应严格把握手术指征并确保足够切缘。ECTOP-1011研究通过病理大切片技术揭示影像学与病理学的不完全对应，为术前精准评估提供新依据。此外，“外科治愈窗口期”量化模型的建立和部位特异性随访策略的提出，推动术后管理迈向个体化和精准化。多组学研究进一步从分子层面阐释肺腺癌演进规律，为早期干预和患者预后预测奠定科学基础。本文系统回顾2025年肺癌外科领域的关键进展，以期为临床实践和研究提供参考。

Abstract

Lung cancer is the malignancy with the highest incidence and mortality in China

and surgical resection remains a cornerstone of its treatment. In 2025

significant progress has been made in the field of lung cancer surgery. The ECTOP-1021 trial demonstrated the safety and feasibility of active surveillance for indolent multifocal ground-glass opacities within the "surgical curative window"

proposing a risk-stratified management framework based on predicted pulmonary function loss. Phase Ⅲrandomized ECTOP-1009 study provided high-level evidence for omitting mediastinal lymph node dissection in ground-glass opacity-dominant lung adenocarcinoma

marking a paradigm shift from "systematic dissection" to "selective omission". The 10-year follow-up results of the JCOG0802 trial showed that segmentectomy was not inferior to lobectomy

but the local recurrence rate was higher than that of lobectomy

emphasizing the importance of strict patient selection and adequate surgical margins. The ECTOP-1011 study

utilizing whole-mount pathological sections

revealed discrepancies between radiological and pathological findings

offering new insights into precise preoperative assessment. Furthermore

the establishment of a quantifiable "surgical curative window" model and the development of a site-specific follow-up strategy have advanced postoperative management toward personalization and precision. Multi-omics research has elucidated the molecular evolutionary trajectory of lung adenocarcinoma

providing a scientific basis for early intervention and prognosis prediction. This article reviews key advances in lung cancer surgery in 2025 to inform clinical practice and future research.
