Abstract Background Recently, several reports investigating tumor doubling times (TDTs) in lung cancer have demonstrated that lung cancer patients with shorter TDTs have poor prognoses. Although data have shown that the solid component of a tumor is clinically more important, relationships between solid component TDTs and lung cancer prognoses remain unclear. Methods To evaluate relationships between TDT and survival, we retrospectively evaluated 231 patients who underwent surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer. The TDTs of whole and solid components were calculated using preoperative thin-slice chest computed tomography scans with a cut-off of 400 d between scans. Results Patients with short TDTs ( |
