Prognostic impacts of interstitial lung abnormalities on outcomes following resection for lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The clinical significance of interstitial lung abnormalities in patients with lung cancer undergoing curative resection remains largely unstudied. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of these findings among patients with lung cancer undergoing resection and assess their impact on postoperative complications and long-term survival.

Methods

This single-centre retrospective study included patients who underwent resection from 2008 to 2020. Patients with a history of lung cancer, previous lung resection or clinically evident interstitial lung disease before cancer detection were excluded. Preoperative chest scans were reviewed for interstitial lung abnormalities according to established criteria. Associations between these abnormalities and postoperative out
