Tumor Spread Through Air Spaces in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: a systematic review and meta–analysis

The prognostic impact of STAS present in the resection margin remains undetermined. Further large–scale prospective studies are warranted to confirm the prognostic significance of STAS in patients with NSCLCs.
