Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sublobar resection is strongly associated with poor prognosis in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, with the presence of tumor spread through air spaces (STAS). Thus, preoperative prediction of STAS is important for surgical planning. This study aimed to develop a STAS deep-learning (STAS-DL) prediction model in lung adenocarcinoma with tumor smaller than 3 cm and a consolidation-to-tumor (C/T) ratio less than 0.5.
