From: Prognosis of resected non-small cell lung cancer with pleural plaques on intrathoracic findings
Prognosis of clinical stage I patients with emphysema with Goddard score ≥ 5 or interstitial pneumonia. A RFS of patients with pleural plaques (5-year RFS rate: 48.9%; 95% CI, 34.3%–63.7%) was worse than those of patients without pleural plaques (58.7%; 95% CI, 48.8%–68.0%; P = 0.001). B OS of patients with pleural plaques (5-year OS rate: 49.5%; 95% CI, 34.5%–64.6%) was worse than those of patients without pleural plaques (66.3%; 95% CI, 56.2%–75.1%; P < 0.001)
