Staging Strategies and Their Association With Prognosis and Therapy in Lung Cancer With Cystic Airspaces

T-Staging Strategies and Their Prognostic and Therapeutic Significance in Lung Cancer With Cystic Airspaces: A Retrospective Cohort Study


Sponsor

Central South University

Enrollment

500 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to determine the most accurate tumor size measurement method for T-staging and prognostic assessment in lung cancer with cystic airspaces (LCCA). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the optimal T-staging approach for accurately classifying lung cancer with cystic airspaces (LCCA) and predicting patient outcomes? * How do imaging features of cystic lesions correlate with their pathological characteristics? * What is the relationship between imaging features of cystic airspace-associated lesions and patient prognosis? * Can optimizing the T-staging method improve clinical decision-making in patients with LCCA?


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is a research study (not a treatment trial) examining whether the way a specific type of non-small cell lung cancer — one that appears with air pockets or cysts inside the tumor on a CT scan — is staged affects treatment outcomes and survival. Researchers will review existing medical records and imaging. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) - You have already had surgery to remove the lung tumor - Your pre-surgery CT scan showed air-filled (cystic) spaces within the tumor - Complete pre-surgery CT imaging data is available **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a history of lung diseases that produce cysts (such as tuberculosis, emphysema, or certain genetic conditions) - You received chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy before surgery - You had another cancer at the same time - Your pre-surgery CT imaging is incomplete or poor quality Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
