From: Comparison of lung cancer occurring in fibrotic versus non-fibrotic lung on chest CT
Fibrotic lung | Non-fibrotic lung | *p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
Squamous cell carcinoma | 105 days (range 17–321) N = 22 | 179 days (range 95–263) N = 2 | 0.24 |
Adenocarcinoma | 235 days (range 20–1001) N = 24 | 194 days (range 34–860) N = 10 | 0.24 |
Small cell cancer | 43 days (range 21–95) N = 6 | 28 days (range 22–33) N = 2 | 0.23 |
Metastases | None | 113 days (range 25–290) N = 4 | NA |
Other | 76 days (range 12–225) N = 7 | 162 days (range 41–283) N = 2 | 0.11 |
