The Accuracy of Clinical Staging of Stage I-IIIa Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: An Analysis Based on Individual Participant Data.

abstract：:Pulmonary tumor embolism is a rare but well-documented cause of respiratory failure in patients with cancer. This entity is probably clinically underrecognized and may represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality. A typical pattern of multiple peripheral subsegmental defects on perfusion lung scanning has b...
