Stage I pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma: recurrences, survival and comparison with adenocarcinoma of the lung.
OBJECTIVE Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is considered a subtype of adenocarcinoma of the lung, without pleural, stromal or vascular invasion (World Health Organization (WHO) classification). Previous reports had demonstrated a better prognosis following surgery for patients affected by early stage BAC than those affected by other type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aim to analys...
متن کاملGlobal gene expression differentiating pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma features.
OBJECTIVES Pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is considered the early stage of lung adenocarcinoma, and is even regarded as lung adenocarcinoma in situ. This study was designed to investigate the differences in the gene expression of pure BAC and that of adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar features and explore the mechanism of BAC progression to adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar fe...
متن کاملSolitary nodular pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.
irregular borders ( fig. 2 ). It was histologically diagnosed as a pure nonmucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) ( fig. 3 ). The patient was alive without signs of tumor recurrence 6 months later. BAC is known for low FDG uptake presumed to be secondary to the lower proliferation rate of these tumors [1] . Particularly low metabolic activity is observed in pure BAC, unifocal and mucin-con...
متن کاملPrognostic effect of age on survival of patients with stage I adenocarcinoma of the lung.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND It is still unclear whether age is an independent prognostic factor in patients with stage I NSCLC. METHODS Five hundred and sixty-nine patients with stage I adenocarinoma who underwent surgical resection as first treatment were included. The effect on overall survival of age, gender, smoking habits, Charlson comorbidity index score (CCIS), type of surgery, tumor size and ...
متن کاملRefractory hypoxemic respiratory failure due to adenocarcinoma of the lung with predominant bronchioloalveolar carcinoma component.
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a subtype of lung adenocarcinoma, characterized by well-differentiated cytology, peripheral location, and characteristic growth of neoplastic cells along intact alveolar septa (ie, lepidic growth pattern). Pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, by definition, doesn’t invade stroma, pleura, or lymphatic spaces. If there is lymphatic invasion, the tumor is classified a...
