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

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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?

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Systemic anti-tumor therapies, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeted therapies (such as monoclonal antibodies, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, among others), were administered prior to enrollment;
  • Patients with concurrent other malignancies;

Other illness

  • History of pulmonary diseases that could produce cystic lung lesions (e.g., tuberculosis, pulmonary fungal infections, bullae, emphysema, Lymphangioleiomyomatosis \[LAM\], or Birt-Hogg-Dubé \[BHD\] syndrome);

Other

  • Patients with missing or poor-quality preoperative chest CT imaging data.

Who the study is looking for

  • Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as verified by biopsy or postoperative pathological examination;
  • Patients who have undergone surgical lung resection;
  • Patients with complete preoperative chest CT imaging data;
  • Preoperative chest CT showing a well-defined gas-containing (air-filled) cystic component within the tumor.
