Tumor volume is more reliable to predict nodal metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer of 3.0 cm or less in the greatest tumor diameter

Tumor volume is more reliable to predict nodal metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer of 3.0 cm or less in the greatest tumor diameter

Abstract Background In this study, we sought to evaluate the correlation between TV, GTD, and lymph node metastases in NSCLC patients with tumors of GTD ≤ 3.0 cm. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of clinicopathologic variables for lymph node involvement in 285 NSCLC patients w...
