Popis: | Aim To examine whether preoperative tumour size may serve as a biomarker for the occurrence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in centrally and peripherally located lung adenocarcinoma. Method The study included 261 patients surgically treated for diagnosed lung adenocarcinoma. A ROC curve was used to determine the biomarker potential of tumour size relative to the occurrence of LVI. Binary logistic regression was used to show changes of tumour size impact on the status of LVI. Result Tumour prevalence according to localization had no statistical significance (p=0.464), while the presence of LVI in central, as well as peripheral positions, was statistically significantly different (p |
