Among c-Stage IA adenocarcinoma with a part-solid nodule on thin-section CT scan, an extremely low level of SUVmax could reflect a pure GGN equivalent radiologically and AIS pathologically. The preoperative tumour SUVmax on PET could yield important information for predicting non-invasiveness in patients with a part-solid nodule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
