Özet

Background. The loss of approximately one third of early stage lung cancer patients undergoing complete resection by the end of 5 years implies the existence of unknown or undetected factors at the time of operation. We investigated the possible correlation between microscopic proximal bronchial extension (MPBE) and survival with clinicopathologic features in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
