Prognosis of the second predominant subtype in lung adenocarcinoma: a retrospective single-center cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The histologic classification of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) was mainly divided into three pathological subtype groups: the low-grade predominant subtype group (lepidic), the intermediate-grade predominant subtype group (papillary and acinar), and the high-grade predominant subtype group (micropapillary and solid). Previous studies have focused on the prognostic impact of predominant subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma. In this investigation, we investigated the effect of the second predominant subtype on prognosis.

Methods

The data of LUAD postoperative patients were retrospectively collected. Exclusion criteria included cases in which the pathologic results revealed a single characteristic, the presence of invasive mucinous LUAD, or if the first predominant and the s
