TY - JOUR AU - Inoue, Masayoshi AU - Shimomura, Masanori PY - 2019 TI - The clinical significance of ground glass opacities in lung adenocarcinoma in the era of UICC-TNM classification ver.8 JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 11, No 12 (December 31, 2019): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - I congratulate Dr. Kim on the publication entitled “Consolidation-to-tumor ratio and tumor disappearance ratio are not independent prognostic factors for the patients with resected lung adenocarcinomas”. I read with great interest the article by Kim and colleagues (1), which showed that the consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) or the tumor disappearance ratio (TDR) is not an independent prognostic predictor in patients treated with pulmonary resection when using UICC-TNM classification version 8.
