Description
Massimiliano Bassi and co-authors look for a scan sign that can warn of a poor trait in early lung cancer. The trait is spread of tumor cells through air spaces in the lung. It matters because small tumors may now be cut out with less lung removed, yet this trait worsens the outlook.
The team studied 121 patients with stage IA disease who had surgery. More than half showed the trait, and that group had higher uptake values on their scans. A cut point on the scan score split risk in a clear way. The same link held for the small tumors under two centimetres. The authors say the scan score can help guide the choice of surgery.
