The goal of this pilot study was to determine factors influencing the bronchodilatation test (BDT) response during preoperative lung function assessment in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ⋯ These possible predictors remain hypothetical as the study cohort is rather small, so a large scale research should follow to provide reliable data necessary to make definite conclusions.
