Influence of visceral pleural invasion on survival in completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer.
OBJECTIVES Although the prognostic implications of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) are well established, it remains controversial whether the extent of VPI affects survival in patients with completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition, the impact of VPI according to nodal status is unclear. We evaluated the influence of the extent of pleural invasion on survival by analys...
متن کاملVisceral pleural invasion predict a poor survival among lung adenocarcinoma patients with tumor size ≤ 3cm
INTRODUCTION The impact of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) on survival remains controversial for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study investigated the survival status of VPI among patients with lymph node-negative lung invasive adenocarcinoma smaller than 3cm. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 2537 consecutive patients with pathologic stage I lung invasiv...
متن کاملEffect of visceral pleural invasion on the prognosis of patients with lymph node negative non‐small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) is an adverse prognostic factor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, its effect in relation to tumor size remains under debate. To better understand the prognostic impact and potential consequences for staging, we examined correlations between VPI and clinicopathologic characteristics in patients with NSCLC, particularly those with lymph nod...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET/CT in pleural epithelioid hemangioendothelioma
Pleural epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare malignancy of vascular-endothelial origin with non-specific symptoms and an unpredictable outcome. Diagnosis of this condition by imaging modalities is challenging, and no standard therapeutic approaches have been established in this regard. In this paper, we described the case of a patient with a low-grade fever, coughing and chest pain ...
متن کاملConvex border of peripheral non-small cell lung cancer on CT images as a potential indicator of pleural invasion
The aim of the study is to evaluate the use of the tumor border in peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as an indicator of pleural invasion.This retrospective study was performed at a single tertiary center. The analysis of 136 patients with peripheral NSCLC included 101 (74.3%) patients with pathologically proven pleural invasion and 35 (25.7%) patients without pleural invasion. The t...
