Clinicoradiographic Predictors of Aggressive Biology in Lung Cancer with Ground Glass Components.
CONCLUSIONS: Several radiographic features were associated with aggressive tumor biology, which is a well-known finding. However, we found that none of these radiographic features remained relevant after we adjusted for the size of the solid component, indicating that radiographic features are not as important as previously believed. Further research will be required to identify reliable markers associated with favorable tumor biology. These studies will ultimately be critical in informing prognosis or guiding extent of resection.
