Preoperative nomogram for predicting spread through air spaces in clinical-stage IA non-small cell lung cancer using ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to assess the predictive value of ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT) radiological features and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV_max) in determining the presence of spread through air spaces (STAS) in clinical-stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 180 cases of NSCLC with postoperative pathological assessment of STAS status, spanning from September 2019 to September 2023. Of these, 116 cases from hospital one comprised the training set, while 64 cases from hospital two formed the testing set. The clinical information, tumor SUV_max, and 13 related CT features were analyzed. Subgroup analysis w
