Neither Maximum Tumor Size nor Solid Component Size Is Prognostic in Part-Solid Lung Cancer: Impact of Tumor Size Should Be Applied Exclusively to Solid Lung Cancer Aritoshi Hattori, MD, Takeshi Matsunaga, MD, Kazuya Takamochi, MD, Shiaki Oh, MD, Kenji Suzuki, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 102, Issue 2, Pages 407-415 (August 2016) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2016.02.074 Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 1 Radiologic classification of 1,181 patients with surgically resected c-N0 M0 NSCLC of any T grade based on the findings on thin-section computed tomography (CT) scan. (CTR = consolidation tumor ratio; GGO = ground-glass opacity.)

Fig 2 Overall survival curves of 565 patients with clinical N0 M0 radiologically solid lung cancers are presented based on tumor size: ≤20 mm (blue line); 21–30 mm (green line); 31–50 mm (gray line); and ≥51 mm (purple line).

Fig 3 Overall survival curves of 448 patients with clinical N0 M0 radiologically part-solid lung cancers are presented based on tumor size (A: ≤20 mm [blue line]; 21–30 mm [green line]; and ≥31 mm [gray line]) or consolidation tumor ratio (B: 0 < CTR ≤ 0.50 [blue line]; 0.50 < CTR < 1.0 [green line]).
