摘要

Objective

With the wide use of CT scan in clinical practice, more lung cancer was diagnosed in resectable stage. Pathological examination and genetic testing have become a routine procedure for lung adenocarcinoma following radical resection. This study analyzed special pathological components and gene mutations to explore their relationship with clinical characteristics and overall survival.

Methods

Clinical, pathological, and gene mutation data from 1,118 patients were collected. All patients underwent surgery at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. Patients were grouped based on pathological components and gene mutations. Differences in clinical features and overall survival were analyzed as well.

Results

Patients with mucinous, neuroendocrine, and poor-differentiated components were presented with more prognostic risk factors, including pleural invasion, carcinothrombosis, STAS, and advanced stages, along with varying frequencies of gene mutations. These factors significantly shortened overall survival. ALK and KRAS mutations were also associated with risk factors such as solid nodules, pleural invasion, STAS, and later stages. However, a significant reduction in overall survival was observed only in patients with the KRAS mutation. Relationship between gene mutations and pathological components still requires further investigation.

Conclusion

Special pathological components (mucinous, neuroendocrine, and poor-differentiated) and gene mutations had an influence on biological behavior of tumors, resulting in different clinical characteristics and prognosis.
