[Clinical and morphologic correlations in bronchoalveolar cancer].
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a variety of lung adenocarcinoma featuring peculiar morphological pattern, period of latency, long symptom-free course, no association with smoking, younger age of victims and prevalent frequency in women. While there are no reliable diagnostic criteria, radical surgery has good prognosis (3-year overall or relapse-free survival is 88.9 and 66.7%, respectively). Prognostically significant are such morphological subtypes as mucigenous and non-mucigenous carcinoma. The study included patients with stage I and II carcinoma. Regional dissemination incidence was significantly lower than in other varieties of lung adenocarcinoma.
