Whether it is suitable depends partly on how well a person can tolerate surgery. Important considerations include needing extra oxygen because of severe lung disease, reduced ability of the lungs to transfer gas into the blood, frailty and difficulty with everyday activities. Age alone is less important than these measures. Removing less than a whole lobe, called sublobar resection, is another surgical option, but the cancer's features matter when comparing it with lobectomy. In particular, cancer extending into the lung's outer covering or spreading through air spaces needs a more specific comparison than early-stage lung cancer as a whole.

A 2025 analysis combined 15 studies involving 8,054 patients with tumours no larger than 3 cm that had invaded the lung's outer covering or spread through air spaces. Across the included studies, sublobar resection was associated with worse five-year overall survival than lobectomy in these groups. Overall survival means being alive, whether or not the cancer has returned. The results were more nuanced for smaller tumours: among patients with invasion of the lung's outer covering and tumours no larger than 2 cm, no statistically significant difference in five-year survival or survival without recurrence was found. These findings do not prove that the operations are interchangeable, because most of the studies looked back at patients' records rather than assigning treatment at random.

Severe lung disease, reduced lung gas transfer, frailty and limited daily activity are important parts of assessing that risk before surgery. An exercise test that measures how the heart and lungs respond to activity can also help assess risk around the time of lung cancer surgery. Lower oxygen uptake at peak exercise and less efficient breathing were linked to more complications. These tests help assess surgical risk rather than providing a guarantee about recovery.
