*[[Lymphovascular invasion]] (LVI) is relatively common in small tumours. In one series of NSLC tumours less than 2 cm the prevalence of LVI was 16%.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Tao H, Hayashi T, Sano F, ''et al.'' |title=Prognostic impact of lymphovascular invasion compared with that of visceral pleural invasion in patients with pN0 non-small-cell lung cancer and a tumor diameter of 2 cm or smaller |journal=J.
