Interobserver size measurement variability in part-solid lung adenocarcinoma using pre-operative computed tomography.

Conclusions: Inter-observer measurement variability for solid size was larger than for total size in lung adenocarcinoma. Large variability in group I indicated the difficulty of size measurement for low-grade malignant potential nodules such as adenocarcinoma in situ, minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, and early-stage invasive adenocarcinoma. The possibility of unavoidable size measurement variability should be recognized when deciding on surgical procedures for these diseases. PMID: 31463121 [PubMed]
