Significance of preoperative biopsy in radiological solid-dominant clinical stage I non-small-cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The present study aimed to clarify the association between preoperative biopsy and surgical outcomes in clinical stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with different proportions of ground-glass opacity (GGO).

Methods

Data on patients who underwent pulmonary resection for NSCLC from 2006 to 2016 were drawn from a prospective registered database and analysed retrospectively. Patient characteristics collected included tumour size, location and staging, surgical approach, consolidation-tumour ratio, histopathology and the presence or absence of preoperative biopsy to identify the independent prognostic factors of disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival. A 1:1 propensity score matching was conducted between the preoperative biopsy and reference gr
