Chest CT Imaging Features of Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules and Outcomes in Patients with High-grade Soft Tissue Sarcoma:A Single-center Retrospective Study
Chest CT Imaging Features of Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules and Outcomes in Patients with High-grade Soft Tissue Sarcoma:A Single-center Retrospective Study
Objective To explore the imaging features,clinical outcome,and prognosis of indeterminate pulmonary nodules(IPN)in patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma.Methods A retrospective study of 82 patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma who have IPNs.The clinical characteristics,imaging features of IPN,and survival of patients were analyzed with statistical software.Results The IPN size of 82 patients was 6.453±0.864 mm.IPN diameter,shape,density,and nodule discovery interval may be CT imaging features related to malignancy tendency.Age(HR=1.047,95%CI:1.007-1.088)and interval between each nodule discovery(HR=3.194,95%CI:1.052-9.694)are independent factors that affect the survival of patients with malignant IPN.Conclusion The imaging features of chest CT may provide important guidance for determining the nature and survival prognosis of benign and malignant nodules.
