Clinical T categorization in stage IA lung adenocarcinomas: prognostic implications of CT display window settings for solid portion measurement

Our study aimed at evaluating the prognostic implications of lung and mediastinal CT display window settings for solid portion measurements on the eighth-edition lung cancer staging system’s clinical T (cT) categorization. We retrospectively analyzed 691 surgically treated patients from 2009 to 2015 for clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinomas. Solid portions were measured at the lung and mediastinal window settings, respectively, and cT...
