Abstract
Prognostic factors in patients with surgically-treated peripheral T-1 (less than or equal to 3 cm in greatest diameter) adenocarcinoma of th e lung were analyzed in 45 cases. Statistical differences in survival was observed between stages I + II and III + IV (p < 0.005) However, n either sex, age, location of tumor, histological subtype, histological grade, tumor ploidy, nor presence of central gibrosis was of prognost ic determinance. Our results suggest that only clinical stage is of pr ognostic importance in surgically-treated peripheral T-2 adenocarcinom a of the lung.
