The radiological ground glass opacity (GGO) component of an adenocarcinoma pathologically reflects a non-invasive adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). Measuring the tumour diameter to include the GGO component may overestimate the T factor. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effect of the GGO component on the recurrence of an adenocarcinoma.
