In the eighth edition of the TNM classification of lung cancer, the prognostic impact of tumor
size is emphasized as a descriptor of all T categories. Especially in lung cancer where tumor …

Objective Non–small cell lung cancers with a ground-glass opacity component have better
prognosis than those with solid nodules of equivalent consolidation size. However, the …

Background A ground-glass opacity (GGO) component on chest computed tomography (CT)
pathologically corresponds to lepidic adenocarcinoma. However, the precise …

There is limited literature on the gross handling of lung resection specimens. Microscopic
examination of the specimen, TNM staging and predictive biomarker testing are fully …

Objectives EGFR testing is a mandatory step before targeted therapy for non-small cell lung
cancer patients. Combining some quantifiable features to establish a predictive model of …

Lung adenocarcinomas manifesting as subsolid nodules usually have a favorable
prognosis. This study aimed to have a comprehensive investigation of the radiological and …

Background This study investigated the prognostic impact of epidermal growth factor
receptor (EGFR) mutation in clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients. Methods Data for …

Background We aim to compare the differences in growth characteristics between part-solid
and solid lung adenocarcinoma, and to investigate the value of volume doubling time (VDT) …

Background The lung is an extensively epithelialized organ, producing ample exfoliated
material for sputum and bronchial cytology. In view of the updates in the World Health …

Rationale and Objectives To quantify intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) in clinical T1 stage lung
