Microscopic residual disease after resection for lung cancer: a multifaceted but poor factor of prognosis.

Author
Abstract
:

Many studies focus on bronchial microscopic residual disease (R1) after resection for lung cancer, although R1 also concerns vascular and soft tissues. Our purpose was to study the R1 prognosis at different resection margins and to compare it with the prognosis for those having complete resection (R0).
