Postoperative CT surveillance in the evaluation of local recurrence after sub-lobar resection of neoplastic lesions of the lung.

Objective: As indications for sub-lobar resections increase, it will become more important to identify risk factors for postsurgical recurrence. We investigated retrospectively the association between local recurrence after sub-lobar resection of neoplastic lung lesions and pre- and post-operative CT imaging and pathologic features.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed retrospectively neoplastic lung lesions with postoperative chest CT surveillance of sub-lobar resections in 2006-2016.
