Clinical stage IA lung cancer presenting as a ground glass opacity (GGO) on imaging is known to be associated with a good prognosis. Conversely, the prognosis of lung cancer presenting as a pure solid nodule is less favorable. The purpose of this study was to identify the predictive factors affecting prognosis in pure solid nodule lung cancer.
