Retrospective cohort study evaluates tuberculosis's influence on lung cancer imaging and clinical features.

This study aims to assess how tuberculosis status affects imaging patterns and clinical characteristics in lung cancer patients.
Conducted a retrospective cohort study at Clinical Pneumophtisiology Hospital, Romania, from February 2020 to December 2025.
Analyzed 620 lung cancer patients classified into three groups based on tuberculosis status.
Evaluated associations between tuberculosis status and imaging findings using chi-square testing and multinomial logistic regression.
Identified post-tuberculosis sequelae in 337 patients (54.4%) and active tuberculosis in 51 patients (8.2%).
Findings showed significant correlations between tuberculosis status and various imaging patterns, especially fibrotic and cavitary changes.
Active tuberculosis was most associated with infectious-inflammatory changes and cavitary lesions.

Cioti et al. (2026) studied this question.
