The impact of preoperative percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy on pleural recurrence in clinically early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
Preoperative PTNB was statistically correlated with an increased pleural recurrence in clinical stage I NSCLC, even among patients without conventional high-risk pathological features. Careful consideration is warranted when deciding on PTNB for early-stage disease.
