Abstract:
Adenosquamous lung carcinoma(ASLC) was a rare pathologic type of the lung cancer. In order to improve the levels of the diagnosis and the treatment of ASLC,we analysed the clinical features of 71 cases of ASLC in our hospital from January 1993 to January 2000 retrospectively. The results showed that there was an evidence of young age in its occurrence.The majority of this type of cancer was located peripherally. It occurred most frequently in the posterior segments of the upper lobes and superior segments of the lower lobes. The biopsy obtained by surgery was the most reliable diagnostic way for the determination of pathologic type. The prognosis was poor. The five year survival rate after surgical operation was 12.2%. Early diagnosis may be made in routine general check up. An early diagnosis and surgical treatment could prolong surviving time of the patients.
