This study provides important insights into the unexplored effect of pretreatment ILA in prostate cancer patients. Pretreatment ILAs were observed considerably in the lung bases scanned on the abdominal CT scans among prostate cancer patients. Furthermore, pretreatment ILAs were the risk factor of mortality. Therefore, lung bases should be routinely inspected in the abdominal CT scans of prostate cancer patients. This result may help clinicians in establishing personalized management strategy of prostate cancer patients.
