Limited resection and two-staged lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer with ground-glass opacity
BACKGROUND Lung tumors showing ground-glass opacities on high-resolution computed tomography indicate the presence of inflammation, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, or localized bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. We adopted a two-staged video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy strategy involving completion lobectomy for localized bronchioloalveolar carcinoma with an invasive component according to po...
متن کاملGround-Glass Opacity in Lung Metastasis from Breast Cancer: A Case Report
A 43-year-old woman with breast cancer who was on neoadjuvant chemotherapy presented with cough, sputum and mild fever. High-resolution computed tomography showed diffuse ground glass opacities in bilateral lungs and subpleural patchy consolidations. Initially, she was thought to have pneumonia or interstitial lung diseases such as drug-induced pneumonitis and treated with antibiotics and stero...
متن کاملFeasibility of segmental resection in non-small-cell lung cancer with ground-glass opacity.
OBJECTIVES Recently, lung segmental resection has been increasingly performed in patients with lung cancer. In this study, the results of radical segmentectomy (RS) and palliative segmentectomy (PS) were compared retrospectively. METHODS Segmentectomy was performed to remove a primary lung cancer in 87 cases. RS was performed for pure ground-glass opacity (GGO), >50% GGO and diameter less tha...
متن کاملThe ground glass opacity component can be eliminated from the T-factor assessment of lung adenocarcinoma.
OBJECTIVES The radiological ground glass opacity (GGO) component of an adenocarcinoma pathologically reflects a non-invasive adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). Measuring the tumour diameter to include the GGO component may overestimate the T factor. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effect of the GGO component on the recurrence of an adenocarcinoma. METHODS We reviewed patients who und...
متن کاملComputer-aided diagnosis of localized ground-glass opacity in the lung at CT: initial experience.
The purpose of this study was to develop an automated scheme to facilitate detection of localized ground-glass opacity (GGO) in the lung at computed tomography (CT). Institutional review board approval and informed consent were not required. Two radiologists reviewed CT images from 14 patients (five men, nine women) who had lung cancer or metastasis and whose malignancy was classified as GGO. T...
