Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from the tissues of the prostate, an organ of the male urinary and reproductive tract. Total prostatectomy (removal of the prostate gland) is indicated in cases of cancer. Prostate cancer is the leading cancer in men and is responsible for 8,000 deaths per year in France. In case of cancer located in the prostate, one of the possible treatments is radical surgery. The absence of treatment exposes the patient to the risks of cancer progression.

A wedge resection is a surgical procedure that is done to remove a wedge-shaped section of lung tissue, usually for treating lung cancer, but sometimes for other indications. A wedge resection is less invasive than some of the other surgical options used to remove lung cancer, and it may be appropriate if your cancer is relatively contained. Your healthcare provider may recommend wedge resection surgery to treat your lung cancer, especially if you have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
