Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Lung cancer is still the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality in China. Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common subtype, and the number of lung cancer presenting as mixed ground glass nodule (mGGN) in imaging is gradually increasing. Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) is an important factor affecting the prognosis of mGGN type lung adenocarcinoma. The aim of the study is to explore and analyze the risk factors for VPI in mGGN type lung adenocarcinoma.
METHODS:From November 2016 to November 2019, 128 patients with mGGN lung adenocarcinoma underwent radical surgical resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Their clinical data, including imaging, pathological and biological features, were collected and analyzed retrospectively. There were 40 males and 88 females, aged 60.3±9.3 years ranging from 30 to 81 years. Single factor Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of VPI in mGGN type lung adenocarcinoma.
RESULTS:Among 128 mGGN patients who met the inclusion criteria, 57 cases were pathologically confirmed with pleural invasion. Between the VPI (+) and VPI (-) group (P<0.05), there were significant differences in gender, maximum diameter of solid component, consolidation tumor ratio (CTR), spicule sign, history of lung disease, family history of hypertension, relation of lesion to pleura (RLP), coursing relationship between bronchi and nodules. In multivariate Logistic regression analysis, RLP (OR=3.529, 95%CI: 1.430-8.713, P=0.006) and coursing relationship between bronchi and nodules (OR=3.993, 95%CI: 1.517-10.51, P=0.005) were found to be independent risk factors for VPI (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:The possibility of VPI in m GGN lung adenocarcinoma should be evaluated by combining these parameters in clinical diagnosis and treatment. As independent risk factors, RLP and coursing relationship between bronchi and nodules are instructive to identify VPI in mGGN type lung adenocarcinoma.
