Missed lung cancer imaging traits hint at worse outcomes

Recent research has unveiled that specific radiographic features related to missed lung cancer (MLC) might be predictive of unfavorable outcomes for patients. This insight, detailed in a recent paper within Clinical Imaging, highlights how characteristics involving location, density, and superimposed structures could correlate with poorer prognoses. Thitiporn Suwatanapongched, the corresponding author from the Division of […]
