Abstract

BACKGROUND: The study assessed the possibility of dividing patients into groups based on the assessment of morphological changes in the epithelium of small-caliber bronchi located near the primary tumor in order to predict high and low risks of distant metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer.

METHODS: In 171 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (T

RESULTS: During the follow-up period, distant metastases were found in 35.1% (60/171) of patients. Most often, they were observed in patients of the high-risk group: BCH+SM-D- (51.6%, 40/95) and BCH-SM+D+ (54.4%, 6/11). Less often, distant metastases were observed in low-risk group patients: BCH+SM+D- (6.7%, 3/45) and BCH-SM-D- (10.0%, 2/20). Tumor size, grade, and stage were significant predictors of metastasis only in the high-risk group. The 5-year metastasis-free survival was better in the low-risk group of distant metastases.

CONCLUSIONS: Isolated BCH or dysplasia in small bronchi distant from foci of tumor is associated with a high-risk distant metastasis and less 5-year metastasis-free survival.
