The value of predicting the invasiveness and degree of infiltration of pulmonary ground-glass nodules based on computed tomography features and enhanced quantitative analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence and mortality rate of lung cancer are the highest in the world among all malignant tumors. Accurate assessment of ground-glass nodules (GGNs) is crucial in reducing lung cancer mortality. This study aimed to explore the value of computed tomography (CT) features and quantitative parameters in predicting the invasiveness and degree of infiltration of GGNs.

Methods

Lesions were classified into three groups based on pathological types: the precursor glandular lesion (PGL) group, including atypical adenomatoid hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma in situ; the minimally invasive adenocarcinoma group; and the invasive adenocarcinoma group. Quantitative and qualitative data of the nodules were compared, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve ana
