Background: Micropapillary and solid patterns indicate worse survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients, even in pathological stage IB patients. However, whether the presence of micropapillary or solid components is related to worse prognosis in pathological IA stage lung adenocarcinoma remains unclear.

Methods: Several databases were searched up to December 31, 2022 for relevant studies investigating the association between micropapillary and solid components and the survival of IA stage lung adenocarcinoma patients. Primary and secondary outcomes are disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), respectively. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confident intervals (CIs) were combined, and subgroup analysis stratified by the pathological subtype and proportion of components was further performed.

Results: A total of 19 studies with 12,562 cases were included. Pooled results indicated that micropapillary or solid components obviously predicted worse DFS (HR = 2.40, 95% CI: 1.96-2.94, P < .001) and OS (HR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.68-3.15, P < .001). Subgroup analysis based on pathological subtype showed that both micropapillary and solid components were significantly associated with worse DFS (micropapillary: HR = 2.70, 95% CI: 1.70-4.28, P < .001; solid: HR = 3.98, 95% CI: 2.10-7.54, P < .001) and OS (micropapillary: HR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.17-4.48, P = .015; solid: HR = 4.18, 95% CI: 1.72-10.17, P = .002). In addition, further subgroup analysis stratified by the proportion of micropapillary and solid components (>5%/1% or predominant) showed similar results.

Conclusion: Micropapillary and solid patterns predicted a significantly worse prognosis in pathological IA stage lung adenocarcinoma patients.

Background: This study aims to quantify intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) using preoperative CT image and evaluate its ability to predict pathological high-grade patterns, specifically micropapillary and/or solid components (MP/S), in patients diagnosed with clinical stage I solid lung adenocarcinoma (LADC).

Methods: In this retrospective study, we enrolled 457 patients who were postoperatively diagnosed with clinical stage I solid LADC from two medical centers, assigning them to either a training set (n = 304) or a test set (n = 153). Sub-regions within the tumor were identified using the K-means method.

Correlation of Histologic Features with Gene Alterations in Pleural Mesothelioma.

Mod Pathol

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York, 10065, USA. Electronic address:

Histologic features, including architectural patterns, cytologic features, and 2021 World Health Organization nuclear grade have been shown to have prognostic significance in epithelioid diffuse pleural mesothelioma (DPM). Biphasic and sarcomatoid DPM, regardless of morphology, have worse outcomes. These prognostic findings are well-established but correlation of architectural patterns, cytologic features, and nuclear grade with genetic alterations has not been well studied.

Risk Stratification and Adjuvant Chemotherapy for High-Risk Stage IA Lung Adenocarcinoma: The Unmet Needs.

Thorac Cancer

December 2024

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Shanghai Chest Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.

Introduction: To identify high-risk patients for recurrence in resected stage IA lung adenocarcinoma and evaluate the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) on their prognosis, as well as explore potential novel adjuvant therapies.

Methods: Consecutive stage IA patients with ≥ 5% solid or micropapillary subtypes were analyzed. A nomogram was developed using Cox proportional hazards regression to predict recurrence-free survival (RFS).

Objective: This study aimed to establish a model based on Multi-detector Computed Tomography (MDCT), F-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (F-FDG PET/CT), and clinical features for predicting different growth patterns of preoperative Invasive Adenocarcinoma (IAC).

Methods: This retrospective study included 357 patients diagnosed with IAC who underwent surgical treatment. According to pathological subtypes, IAC was classified into low-risk growth patterns (lepidic, acinar) and high-risk growth patterns (papillary, micropapillary, and solid).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to create a predictive model to identify higher-risk growth patterns of invasive lung adenocarcinoma using multiphase MDCT and FDG PET imaging.
  • A total of 203 patients were analyzed, with data divided into training and testing sets; various models were assessed based on their effectiveness in predicting higher-risk patterns from preoperative imaging.
  • The combined Rad-Clin model showed the highest accuracy (AUC = 0.923), outperforming both individual radiomic and clinical models, suggesting its potential as a valuable tool in clinical decision-making for lung adenocarcinoma.
