Abstract

To evaluate the impact of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) histological subtypes on survival, we performed a retrospective multivariate analysis of survival in 361 patients with a NSCLC diagnosed in 1987 and 1988 at the University Hospital in Strasbourg, France. There were 262 (73%) squamous cell carcinomas (SQ), 59 (16%) adenocarcinomas other than bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (ADOBAC), 24 (7%) bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and 16 (4%) large cell carcinomas (LC). The proportion of metastatic disease was significantly higher in the ADOBAC group than in the SQ group (30% vs. 15%, P < 0.001). In operated patients, only extent of disease and age were independent prognostic factors. In patients with unresectable NSCLC, extent of disease had also the heaviest impact on survival. However, in these unresected patients, ADOBAC had a pejorative impact on survival, in contrast to BAC which was of better prognosis. If these results are confirmed by prospective studies, this will support stratification according to histological subtypes in clinical trials involving inoperable NSCLC patients.
