Predictive value of radiological features on spread through air space in stage cIA lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spread through air space (STAS) is a risk factor for disease recurrence in patients with stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) who undergo limited resection. Preoperative prediction of STAS could help intraoperative surgical decision-making in small LUAD patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictive value of radiological features on STAS in stage cIA LUAD.

Methods

A case-control study was designed through retrospective analysis of the radiological features of patients who underwent curative surgery for LUAD with a clinical tumor size ≤3 cm. Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors for STAS. The predicted probability of STAS was calculated by a specific formula.
