Discrepancy Between Preoperative CT and Pathological Tumor Diameters in Stage I Lung Adenocarcinoma and Its Association with Postoperative Recurrence

Key Points

• Evaluate the differences between CT and pathological measurements of tumor size and their impact on postoperative recurrence.
• Analyzed preoperative CT and pathological measurements of tumor diameters
• Identified discrepancies greater than 3 mm
• Examined associations with postoperative recurrence risk
• CT measurements typically overestimate tumor sizes
• Discrepancies greater than 3 mm correlate with increased recurrence risk
• Incorporating these discrepancies into risk models could enhance stratification
