Impact of High-Grade Patterns in Early-Stage Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Multicentric Analysis.

Objective: The presence of micropapillary and solid adenocarcinoma patterns leads to a worse survival and a significantly higher tendency to recur. This study aims to assess the impact of pT descriptor combined with the presence of high-grade components on long-term outcomes in early-stage lung adenocarcinomas.

Methods: We retrospectively collected data of consecutive resected pT1-T3N0 lung adenocarcinoma from nine European Thoracic Centers.

Pathological and clinical features of multiple cancers and lung adenocarcinoma: a multicentre study.

Objectives: Lung cancer is increasingly diagnosed as a second cancer. Our goal was to analyse the characteristics and outcomes of early-stage resected lung adenocarcinomas in patients with previous cancers (PC) and correlations with adenocarcinoma subtypes.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of patients radically operated on for stage I-II lung adenocarcinoma in 9 thoracic surgery departments between 2014 and 2017.

IgG4-related disease: a new challenging diagnosis mimicking lung cancer.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a progressive inflammatory disease that might rarely involve only the lungs. We retrospectively reviewed the preoperative, clinical and surgical features of patients with a pathology highly suggestive or probable diagnosis of IgG4-RD without extra-thoracic involvement. Five patients were selected, 2 were operated on the right side.
