The study aims to analyze surgical outcomes and the prognostic factors of lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces.
Conducted a retrospective analysis of 75 cases of lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces.
Evaluated the prognostic impact of various TNM classification T factors.
Analyzed surgical outcomes considering patient characteristics and tumor features.
Identified a poor prognosis for lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces.
Faced challenges in determining the applicable T factors of the TNM classification in these cases.
Emphasized the need for accumulating more cases to clarify prognostic implications.
Abstract
LCCA has a poor prognosis. It is often difficult to determine which of the T factors of the TNM classification are applied. Therefore, further studies are needed to accumulate more LCCA cases.
