Surgically resected sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung: a nationwide retrospective study in 2010.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is a rare histological type of non-small cell lung cancer with a poor prognosis. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of surgically resected sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 14999 patients who underwent surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer accumulated by the Japanese Joint Committee of Lung Cancer Registry in 2010. Clinicopathological characteristics and survival were compared between the sarcomatoid carcinoma and other non-small cell cancer groups. The prognostic factors in the sarcomatoid carcinoma group were identified using a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model.

Results
