Prognosis and survival after radical resection of primary adenosquamous lung carcinoma

Our findings indicate that in patients after radical operation for ASC, predominance for one of the histopathological components (adenous or squamous) within primary tumor is attended by worst prognosis. Our study confirmed also that the prognosis of ASC of the lung was poorer than that of primary AC. Lack of generally accepted diagnostic criteria and unclear prognosis, even in the pathologic stage I suggest that there is a need for prospective studies in this respect.
