description | OBJECTIVE: Tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) has recently been reported as a novel invasive pattern in lung adenocarcinoma. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological and radiological features in invasive lung adenocarcinoma with tumor STAS. METHODS: Data of 503 invasive lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent surgery between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2021 were collected. The correlations between STAS presence and clinicopathological and radiological characteristics were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0. RESULTS: Among the 503 patients with invasive adenocarcinoma, 247 (47.9%) and 262 (52.1%) patients were positive and negative for STAS, respectively. Compared to STAS-negative adenocarcinoma, STAS was more common in papillary, micropapillary, and solid tumors (p < 0.01); STAS was associated with advanced pT (p = 0.024), pN (p < 0.001), and pTNM (p < 0.001) stage, more lymph node metastases (p < 0.01), more pleural invasion (p < 0.01), and more neurovascular invasion (p = 0.025). The maximum diameter (p < 0.01), the maximum diameters of the solid component (p < 0.01), and the consolidation/tumor ratio (CTR, p < 0.01) were significantly larger in STAS-positive than in STAS-negative adenocarcinoma. Other common computed tomography (CT) features of adenocarcinomas, i.e., lobulation (p < 0.01), spiculation (p < 0.01), vacuole (p < 0.01), air bronchogram (p = 0.020), vascular convergence (p < 0.01), and pleural indentation (p < 0.01) were significantly associated with STAS. In a multivariable analysis, the maximal diameter of the solid component (odds ratio [OR], 2.505; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.886–3.329), vacuole (OR, 3.301; 95% CI, 1.822–5.980), and spiculation (OR, 2.162; 95% CI, 1.221–3.829) were independent predictors of STAS. The area under the curve (AUC) of the maximal diameter of the solid component was 0.757 (95% CI, 0.714–0.799; p < 0.001), the sensitivity was 73.9%, and the specificity was 69.1% at a cutoff value of 1.18 cm. CONCLUSION: STAS was significantly correlated with several invasive clinicopathological and radiological characteristics, and the maximal diameter was an independent predictor of STAS. These results will prove helpful in identifying STAS-positive adenocarcinoma by CT before surgical resection. |
