Prognostic impact of highly solid component in early-stage solid lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Based on computed tomography (CT) findings of lung cancer, solid nodules have a much worse prognosis than subsolid nodules, even if the nodules are subcentimeter in size. There is, however, no systematic method for determining the prognosis of solid tumors on CT. This study aimed to discover the prognostic factor of early-stage solid lung adenocarcinoma using three-dimensional CT volumetry.

Methods

Patients with pathological stage I solid lung adenocarcinoma who underwent complete resection between 2007 and 2012 were selected in this retrospective study. Clinicopathological data and preoperative multidetector CT findings, such as tumor size on the two-dimensional axial image, three-dimensional tumor volume between -600 and 199 HU, and three-dimensional solid volum
