Importance of Ground Glass Opacity Component in Clinical Stage IA Radiologic Invasive Lung Cancer Aritoshi Hattori, MD, Takeshi Matsunaga, MD, Kazuya Takamochi, MD, Shiaki Oh, MD, Kenji Suzuki, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 104, Issue 1, Pages 313-320 (July 2017) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2017.01.076 Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 1 Typical images of radiologically invasive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for (A) ground glass opacity (GGO)-predominant and (B) solid-predominant part-solid lung cancer and (C) pure-solid lung cancer.

Fig 2 Five-year (A) overall survival and (B) recurrent-free survival revealed significant differences between pure-solid and part-solid non-small cell lung cancers.

Fig 3 The 5-year overall survival based on the maximum tumor size differed significantly among the (A) clinical stage IA radiologic pure-solid non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). However, it was irrelevant to the prognosis in patients with (B) radiologic part-solid NSCLCs.

Fig 4 Among the patients with radiologically invasive part-solid lung cancers, (A) no significant differences were observed for the 5-year overall survival (OS) between the ground glass opacity (GGO)-predominant and solid-predominant arms. Subsequently, (B) the 5-year OS was almost equivalent regardless of solid component size. (CTR = consolidation tumor ratio.)
