Pulmonary segmentectomy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer: when, for which cases and how.

In a multicenter study that observed the natural history of pulmonary subsolid nodules, the frequency of pure GGO lesions developing into part-solid nodules during a 5-year follow-up period was low, at 5.6%, although 24% of part-solid GGO tumors with a solid component of 3 mm or less at the time of first detection showed a trend towards increase in the solid component at 2.4±1.3 years ( 9 ).
