The Impact of Extended Delayed Surgery for Indolent Lung Cancer or Part-Solid Ground Glass Nodules.

ABSTRACT:

Background

During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with lung cancer may experience treatment delays. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of extended treatment delays on survival among patients with stage I typical bronchopulmonary carcinoid (BC), lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma (LPA) or invasive adenocarcinoma with a lepidic component (ADL).

Methods

Using National Cancer Database data (2004-2015), multivariable Cox regression analysis with penalized smoothing splines was performed to examine the association between treatment delay and all-cause mortality for stage I BC, LPA, and ADL. Propensity score-matched analyses compared the overall survival of patients who received "early" vs "delayed" surgery (ie, 0-30 vs 90-120 days after diagnosis) across the di
