Ground glass opacity
Brief summary
This study is one of the Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Projects (ECTOP-1011). It aims to evaluate the correlations between radiologic features and pathologic subtypes of ground glass opacity featured lung adenocarcinoma via whole-mount section.
Detailed description
The pathological lepidic growth pattern was believed to relate to the ground-glass component, whereas invasive adenocarcinoma patterns relate to the solid component. However, the solid components might be fibrosis rather tumor; and previous studies demonstrated the ground-glass components might be invasive lesions. Therefore, it is of considerable significance to establish the correlations between radiologic features and pathologic subtypes of ground glass opacity featured lung adenocarcinoma.
