Squamous cell carcinoma predicts worse prognosis than adenocarcinoma in stage IA lung cancer patients: A population-based propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although numerous studies have reported the association between histological types and the prognosis of IA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, few studies have deeply investigated the impact of pathology on the outcome of NSCLC patients. In this study, we comprehensively explored whether the type of histology influenced the outcome of IA-stage NSCLC patients.

Methods

The study population was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, which is supported by the National Cancer Institute of the United States. To avoid potential bias, the method of propensity score matching (PSM) was used to obtain a balanced cohort for further analysis.

Results

The results from univariate and multivariate regression models showed tha
