Radiologic Identification of Pathologic Tumor Invasion in Patients With Lung Adenocarcinoma.

In this diagnostic study, radiologic analysis showed good performance in identifying pathologic tumor invasion for ground-glass opacity-featured lung adenocarcinoma, especially for tumors less than or equal to 10 mm and greater than 20 mm; these results suggest that a solid component size of 6 mm could be clinically applied to distinguish pathologic tumor invasion.
