Table 4. Relationship between pneumothorax and distances.

Characteristics Pneumothorax, n (%) P value*
Yes (n=61) No (n=160)
Chest wall <0.001
   Tumor distance <20 mm 10 (8.2) 112 (91.8)
   Tumor distance ≥20 mm 51 (51.5) 48 (48.5)
Skin <0.001
   Tumor edge distance <40 mm 10 (7.8) 118 (92.2)
   Tumor edge distance ≥40 mm 51 (54.8) 42 (45.2)
Tumor size 0.04
   <2 cm 59 (29.8) 139 (70.2)
   ≥2 cm 2 (8.7) 21 (91.3)

Chest wall-tumor distance: the distance from the chest wall to the edge of the tumor, skin-tumor edge distance: the distance from the chest wall to the edge of the tumor. All the distances were measured at the section where the tumor is at largest size. *, Chi-square test.
