The purpose of this study was to investigate better radiological prognostic factors in clinical T1 pure-solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).This study enrolled 284 patients with clinical T1 solid NSCLC who underwent anatomical lung resection. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the prognostic impact of tumor volume doubling time (VDT) at disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).The median VDT was 347 days. Age (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.07) and standardized uptake value max (SUVmax) (6.0) (HR = 2.61; 95% CI, 1.52-4.66) were identified as significantly independent worse prognostic factors for DFS in a multivariable analysis without VDT. Furthermore, a multivariable analysis without SUVmax identified age (HR = 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.09), CEA (5.0 ng/ml) (HR = 2.34; 95% CI, 1.30-4.02), tumor diameter on CT (2.0 cm) (HR = 1.91; 95% CI, 1.18-3.13), and VDT (HR = 4.03; 95% CI, 2.41-6.93) as significantly independent worse prognostic factors for DFS.The VDT value could be a useful prognostic factor in clinical T1 solid NSCLC. |
