Prognostic impact of noninvasive areas in resected pathological stage IA lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Main problems

In non-small-cell lung cancer, ground-glass opacity on computed tomography imaging reflects pathological noninvasiveness and is a favorable prognostic factor. However, the significance of pathological noninvasive areas (NIAs) has not been fully revealed. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the prognostic impact of NIAs on lung adenocarcinoma.

Methods

We analyzed 402 patients with pathological stage (p-Stage) IA lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery in 2013-2016 at two institutions and examined the association of the presence of NIAs with clinicopathological factors and prognosis. Furthermore, after using propensity-score matching to adjust for clinicopathological factors, such as age, sex, smoking history, pathological invasive area size, pathological T fa
