Clinical analysis of 78 pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas with surgical treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate clinical factors influencing the postoperative pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSCs) prognosis.

Methods

We retrospectively evaluated patients with PSCs treated from October 2012 to October 2017. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were calculated using univariable analysis (log-rank test). Univariable/multivariable Cox regression analysis was also performed.

Results

Mixed PSCs were most common (64.10%). Pure PSCs occurred more often with large tumors compared with mixed PSCs. Patients with vs without pleural retraction, respectively, had significantly worse overall survival (OS; 16 vs 23 months) and disease-free survival (DFS; 11 vs 20 months), and patients with airway dissemination had significantly shorter OS (14 vs 21 months) and DFS (11 vs 20 month
