Preoperative nomogram for predicting spread through air spaces in clinical-stage IA non-small cell lung cancer using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography

CONCLUSION: Our nomogram based on preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT radiological features and SUVmax effectively predicts STAS status in clinical-stage IA NSCLC. Furthermore, our study highlights that metabolic parameters and CT variables associated with STAS differ between solid and part-solid nodular NSCLC.PMID:38598007 | PMC:PMC11006761 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05674-w
