• Compare causes of death among NLST participants who underwent wedge resection, lobe resection, and those without lung cancer, focusing on long-term mortality patterns.

• Evaluate non-cancer-related mortality rates over an extended follow-up period among individuals who underwent different lung cancer subtype resections.

• Assess the association between lung cancer subtype resection type and long-term survival outcomes, adjusting for relevant risk factors such as age, smoking history, comorbidities, and tumor characteristics.

• Investigate potential disparities in long-term mortality outcomes among different demographic groups within each resection subtype category.

• Identify predictors of non-cancer-related mortality following lobe resection compared to other surgical approaches, aiming to inform personalized treatment strategies and improve postoperative care for lung cancer patients.
