BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare the volume doubling time (VDT) on serial computed tomography (CT) of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation with that of NSCLC without the mutation. METHODS: One hundred and two pathologically proven NSCLCs, including 69 patients with lung adenocarcinoma, were reviewed with helical CT. Each tumor...
