Relationship between the three-dimensionally measured tumor doubling time of lung cancer and underlying interstitial lung disease: A retrospective case-control study

The coexistence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with lung cancer. The tumor doubling time (TDT) of lung cancer reflects cancer aggressiveness and is related to its prognosis. However, the relationship between the TDT of lung cancer and underlying ILD has not been fully evaluated. This study aimed to identify this crucial relationship.Patients with lung cancer who underwent surgery between 2007 and...
