Özet

Radiological nodule behavior (RNB) means the course of nodule appearance on consecutive CT scans. In this study, we aimed to discuss the effects of RNB on prognosis of patients with pulmonary metastasis. Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) between 2005-2015 was performed. RNBs were grouped as stable, enlarging or new rising nodules. The effects of RNBs were analyzed on recurrence, 1- and 3-year event free survival (EFS) and mortality.
