Effect of visceral pleural invasion on the prognosis of patients with lymph node negative non‐small cell lung cancer

Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) is an adverse prognostic factor in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, its effect in relation to tumor size remains under debate. To better understand the prognostic impact and potential consequences for staging, we examined correlations between VPI and clinicopathologic characteristics in patients with NSCLC, particularly those with lymph node negative NSCLC.
