Long-term results after surgical treatment of the dominant lung adenocarcinoma associated with ground-glass opacities.

Conclusions: Patients affected by an invasive ADC with at least another GGO nodule enjoy good OS and DFS with a surgical reiterative approach. Part-solid GGO is associated with GGO progression requiring treatment, but OS is not influenced by the new onset or evolution of GGOs. DFS is affected by the stage of the MC which dictates the treatment strategy. PMID: 30233857 [PubMed]
