Comparing clinicopathological features and prognosis of primary pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma based on computed tomography findings

Objective To evaluate the relationship between clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis in patients with invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) of the lung. Methods A total of 68 patients who underwent surgical resection for primary lung IMA were reviewed during the period of 2009 and 2017. Tumors were classified as solitary-type or pneumonic-type according to the computed tomography (CT) findings. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the effects of clinicopathological characteristics on univariate and multivariable analyses of disease-free survival (DFS). Results Solitary-type was found in 54 patients, while pneumonic-type was found in 14 patients. The patients’ age varied between 56 and 68 years (patients’ median age was 61 years). Besides, 50 patients had T1/T2 tumor stage (73.5%). Compared with solitary-type, higher T stage, N stage, and pathological stage (P < 0.001) were found in pneumonic-type. Moreover, the survival analysis showed that the pneumonic-type had a significantly poorer DFS compared with solitary-type (P = 0.004). Univariate analysis showed that pneumonic pattern on CT scan, T stage, pathologic stage, and thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) were significant predictive factors of survival (P = 0.011, 0.014, 0.013, 0.029, respectively). Multivariate analysis further indicated that pneumonic-type was the only independent prognostic factor for poor survival [hazard ratio (HR) = 6.764, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.563–29.269, P = 0.011]. Conclusions Based on CT findings, the solitary-type IMA is associated with a lower stage and better prognosis compared with the pneumonic-type IMA..
