Abstract

BACKGROUND: The two-dimensional computed tomography measurement of the consolidation tumor ratio (2D-CTR) has limitations in the prognostic evaluation of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma: the measurement is subject to inter-observer variability and lacks spatial information, which undermines its reliability as a prognostic tool. This study aims to investigate the value of the three-dimensional volume-based CTR (3D-CTR) in preoperative prognosis prediction for pathological Stage IA lung adenocarcinoma, and compare its predictive performance with that of 2D-CTR.
