P1.17. Interval of Computed Tomography after Lung Cancer Surgery Follow-Ups Did Not Affect Survival - PDF(Abstract)

Pdf Summary

A study was conducted to investigate the impact of computed tomography (CT) intervals on survival in postoperative lung cancer patients. The study included 166 patients who underwent CT after lung cancer surgery, and overall and post-recurrence survival was analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups based on the CT intervals: the annual group and the half-year group. The clinical backgrounds of both groups were matched using propensity score matching. <br /><br />The results showed that there were no significant differences in overall survival or survival after recurrence between the two groups. The 5-year overall survival rates were similar in both groups. The median survival after recurrence was also similar between the two groups. This suggests that the CT interval did not affect survival in postoperative lung cancer patients.<br /><br />The study concluded that a close CT interval may not contribute to prolonging survival after lung cancer surgery. Therefore, there is no established evidence regarding the optimal CT interval for postoperative lung cancer patients. This information is important for designing effective postoperative surveillance programs for lung cancer patients.<br /><br />Keywords: postoperative CT surveillance, lung cancer surgery, propensity score matching.
