Stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients experience a relatively high rate of recurrence, ranging from about 30-35%. We hypothesized that this elevated risk of recurrence is due to the presence of tumor cells at bronchial margins which was undetected by conventional light microscopy.Patients with clinical stage IA (T1N0M0) NSCLC were enrolled in this study,which included 8 early-relapse(ER) and 6...
