abstract = {Backgrounds: Invasive adenocarcinoma subtypes are known to be associated with prognosis; however, the underlying reason remains unclear. To find out the reason, we investigated the possible influence of lymph node (LN) involvement by the constituent histologic subtypes in the tumor and clarified the different prognosis according to the predominant histologic subtypes in the tumor and LN.
Methods: A total of 97 consecutive patients who underwent surgical resection for lung invasive adenocarcinoma between February 2009 and December 2015 were included. We analyzed the associations of the histologic subtypes between the tumor and LN and disease-free survival (DFS) according to the histologic subtypes and predicted the histologic subtype in LN involvement using the component ratio of the predominant histologic subtype in the tumor.
