Characteristics and Prognostic Nomogram for Primary Lung Lepidic Adenocarcinoma

Background. Lepidic adenocarcinoma (LPA) is an infrequent subtype of invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma (ADC). However, the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of LPA have not been elucidated. Methods. Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database of 4191 L...

description Background. Lepidic adenocarcinoma (LPA) is an infrequent subtype of invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma (ADC). However, the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of LPA have not been elucidated. Methods. Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database of 4191 LPA patients were retrospectively analyzed and compared with non-LPA pulmonary ADC to explore the clinicopathological and prognosis features of LPA. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were performed to identify independent survival predictors for further nomogram development. The nomograms were validated using the concordance index, receiver operating characteristic curves, and calibration plots, as well as decision curve analysis, in both the training and validation cohorts. Results. Compared with non-LPA pulmonary ADC patients, those with LPA exhibited unique clinicopathological features, including more elderly and female patients, smaller tumor size, less pleural invasion, and lower histological grade and stage. Multivariate analyses showed that age, sex, race, tumor location, primary tumor size, pleural invasion, histological grade, stage, primary tumor surgery, and chemotherapy were independently associated with overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with LPA. The nomograms showed good accuracy compared with the actual observed results and demonstrated improved prognostic capacity compared with the TNM stage. Conclusions. LPA is more frequently diagnosed in older people and women. LPA was inclined to be smaller in tumor size and lower in tumor grade and staging, which may indicate a favorable prognosis. The constructed nomograms accurately predict the long-term survival of LPA patients.
