Individuals with small, peripheral, node-negative NSCLC and visceral pleural invasion had higher recurrence rates than those without pleural involvement, but similar overall survival rates.
In patients with small, peripheral non–small cell lung cancer , visceral pleural invasion leads to worse disease-free and recurrence-free survival as well as higher rates of recurrence, regardless of the extent of surgical resection, new data show. However, the presence of visceral pleural invasion does not appear to significantly affect overall survival.
In this post hoc analysis, patients were stratified and compared based on the absence or presence of visceral pleural invasion.
