Objectives: In 2001, we proposed the criteria for combined evaluation of the serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level and the tumor shadow disappearance rate (TDR) to predict pathologic N0 (pN0) disease in pulmonary adenocarcinomas. The objective of the present study was to determine the prognosis and histologic features in small-sized pulmonary adenocarcinomas according to serum CEA level and TDR. Methods: We reviewed clinical records of 189 consecutive patients with peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinoma 3.0 cm or smaller who underwent major lung resection and systematic lymph node dissection: 50 patients with TDR 0.8 or more and normal CEA level (group I) and 139 patients with TDR
