| MIAs, minimally invasive adenocarcinomas; IPAs, invasive pulmonary adenocarcinomas; Volume cc, volume in cubic centimeters; *, statistical analysis using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s HSD post hoc test, otherwise using a Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test followed by Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc test. | |||
