Postoperative CTC counts showed a decreasing trend in the lung-first group (median, 8 vs. 11 cells/5 mL; P = 0.075) and remained significantly increased in the lymph node-first group (median, 20 vs. 9 cells/5 mL; P < 0.001), suggesting that the main findings were not solely attributable to wedge resection cases ( Supplementary Table 2 ).
