Predicting the Invasiveness of Pulmonary Adenocarcinomas in Pure Ground-Glass Nodules Using the Nodule Diameter: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Validation in an Independent Cohort

The nodule diameter was commonly used to predict the invasiveness of pulmonary adenocarcinomas in pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs). However, the diagnostic performance and optimal cut-off values were inconsistent. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the nodule dia...
