      P2.16-33 - Adenosquamous Carcinoma of the Lung: Comparison of Surgical Outcomes with Squamous Cell and Adenocarcinoma (ID 14235)

      • Abstract

      Background

      Lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a rare subtype of lung cancer that contains squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) components. Clinical and prognostic features have not been fully established. The aim of the study is to compare the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of ASC, AC and SCC.

      In our clinic, the data of 1076 patients who underwent segmentectomy, lobectomy, or pneumonectomy due to non-small cell lung cancer between 1996-2016 was recorded prospectively and reviewed retrospectively. Patients with histologically proven tumor cell type ASC (n = 25, 2,32%), AC (n = 350, 32,52%) and SCC (n = 740, 50,18%) were included in the study. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to determine prognostic factors. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.

      Our study group consisted of 915 patients (834 (91.15%) male, mean age 60.87 ± 9.02 (30-87) years). 65 (7,1%) patient underwent segmentectomy, 711 (77,7%) lobectomy and 139 (15,2%) pneumonectomies were performed as lung resections. Morbidity was seen in 326 patients (35.6%). Postoperative 90-day mortality rate was 2.95% (n = 27). When the demographic data was analyzed between the three groups, female gender was 18% in AC and 4% and 3.1% in ASC and SCC, respectively (p <0.001). In the preoperative positron emission tomography, the maximum standard uptake median value was 13,47 in SCC and 11,73 and 9,40 in ASC and AC, respectively (p <0.001). Pneumonectomy rate was 20.74% in SCC and 16% and 6.57% in ASC and AC, respectively (p <0.001). Early stage (stage 1) patients were 41.4% in the AC group and 28% and 35.7% in ASC and SCC respectively. While the presence of lymphatic metastasis was 36% in the ASK group; the rates were 31.7% and 29.6% in AC and SCC, respectively (p = 0.675). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of survival (p = 0.659, graph 1) after weighted Log-Rank test using Propensity score weights calculated for each cell type in case of more than two groups.

      ASCs are rare, malignant tumors that includes features of SCC and AC cell types, and frequently involves lymphatic metastases. However, there was no difference in survival when compared with AC and SCC.
