  1. Pδ: The Pδ value was calculated by comparing the Alveoli/Lepidic group and Acinar/Papillary group in IAC; Pε: The Pε value was calculated by comparing the Alveoli/Lepidic group and Acinar/Papillary group in MIA; Distance: The shortest distance between the largest invasive component area and the non-interlobar pleura; Depth: Depth is defined as the depth of the largest invasive component area (the vertical distance between the point closest to the non-interlobar pleura and the point farthest from the non-interlobar pleura); CTv refers to the CT attenuation value on the maximum axial layer; MD refers to the maximum diameter on the maximum axial layer; MVD refers to the maximum vertical diameter of the maximum diameter on the maximum axial layer
