Diagnostic sensitivity of solid volume measurement for pathological invasion in non-solid lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the current tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification, the clinical T descriptor is defined by solid size (SS) on a computed tomography (CT) slice and the pathological one is done by invasive size (IS) in microscopic evaluations. We sometimes experience discrepancies in diagnosis of both descriptors. A volume analyzing application enables semi-automatic measurement of three-dimensional (3D) parameters in cases where there are discrepancies in diagnosing tumors' solid size and IS. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between 3D parameters and pathological invasion in non-solid small-sized lung adenocarcinomas.

Methods

We enrolled 246 consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary resection at Shizuoka Cancer Center. Patients with lung adenocarcinom
