OBJECTIVES The optimal imaging programme for the follow-up of patients who have undergone resection of primary lung cancer is yet to be determined. We investigated the incidence and patterns of new and recurrent malignancy after resection for early-stage lung cancer in patients enrolled into a computed tomography (CT) follow-up programme.
