Table 3.

Frequency of each radiological findings in both lungs

Right lung Left lung Expected number p value Correlation with tumor location
Air trapping 147 118 132.5 0.07 0.252
Lung fibrosis 124 83 103.5 0.004 0.004
Bronchiectasis 91 60 75.5 0.01 0.000
Tumor 28 14 21 0.03

These tables show that lung fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and tumor tend to develop more in the right lung. Moreover, cancer significantly develops in the lungs with radiological findings suggestive of lung fibrosis or bronchiectasis
