    • Abstract

    Background:
    The prognostic significance of pathological necrosis in small lung adenocarcinoma has not been investigated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic role of pathological necrosis in patients with completely resected small lung adenocarcinoma ≦2cm.
    
    Method:
    All available tumor slides from patients with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma ≦2cm in size (1998-2015) were retrospectively reviewed. Exclusion criteria: patients who received induction therapy and lung cancer surgery within preceding 2 years. Recurrence free probability and overall survival were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
    
    Result:
    351 patients met inclusion criteria (48% women, median age 67yr (34-86 yrs), 50% never-smokers; 324 Stage IA, 27 Stage IB; 111 and 240 patients underwent sublobar resection and lobectomy, respectively). Presence of pathological necrosis was identified in 32 patients (9%). Presence of pathological necrosis was significantly associated with sex, smoking, clinical T classification in the 8[th] edition and pathological tumor size (p<0.01, p<0.001, p<0.01, p<0.001, respectively). Presence of pathological necrosis correlated with an increased risk of recurrence, compared with those without pathological necrosis (5-year RFP, 70.5%vs 93.8%; p<0.001). Presence of pathological necrosis did not affect OS (5-year OS, 80.8%vs 92.3%; p=0.21).Figure 1
    
    
    
    Conclusion:
    In patients with small lung adenocarcinoma ≦2cm, presence of pathological necrosis was significantly associated with increased risk of recurrence.
