• Of the 1524 patients with resectable lung cancer, 1417 (93.0%) patients were categorized as normal, 87 (5.7%) as interstitial lung abnormality (ILA), and 20 (1.3%) as interstitial lung disease (ILD). • Both ILA and ILD groups were associated with poor recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1.81, p = .002; HR, 5.26, p < .001, respectively) and overall survival (HR, 2.13; p = .004; HR, 7.20; p < .001). • Both quantified fibrotic and non-fibrotic ILA components were associated with recurrence-free survival and overall survival in normal and ILA groups.
