Clinical adjustability of radiological tools in patients with surgically resected cT1N0-staged non-small-cell lung cancer from the long-term survival evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Various radiological tools have been introduced to determine the malignancy or prognosis of lung carcinomas. We retrospectively summarized the clinical outcomes to evaluate whether radiological tools such as consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR), tumor disappearance ratio (TDR), and mediastinal diameter (MD) are suitable for surgically resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

This retrospective study included 260 patients (128 men and 132 women; median age, 64 years) with cT1N0-staged NSCLC who underwent thoracotomy. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

When the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with reference to cT1a/1 mi were calculated, s
