Solid component ratio influences prognosis of GGO-featured IA stage invasive lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The computed tomography (CT) characteristic of ground glass opacity (GGO) were shown to be associated with clinical significance in lung adenocarcinoma. We evaluated the prognostic value of the solid component ratio of GGO IA invasive lung adenocarcinoma.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the records of GGO IA patients who received surgical resection from April 2012 to December 2015. The solid component ratio was calculated based on thin-slice CT scans. Baseline features were compared stratified by the ratio. Cox proportional hazard models and survival analyses were adopted to explore potential prognostic value regarding overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

Results

Four hundred fifteen patients were included. The higher ratio was signifi
