  1. This table shows bronchiectasis and lung fibrosis are more frequently found in RML also demonstrate the lobe involved with LF can be the location of the future tumor
  2. AT air trapping, B bronchiectasis, LF lung fibrosis, T tumor, R.C right central, RLL right lower lobe, RML right middle lobe, RUL right upper lobe, LUL left upper lobe, L.C left central, LLL left lower lobe
