Key result
Tumour grading predicts prognosis better than site or size in primary lung sarcomas with 28-month survival.
Why the study?
Primary sarcomas of the lung are rare and their clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features require detailed characterization.
Population
14 patients with primary lung sarcomas over 30 years
Design
Observational clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study

Tumour grading may aid prognosis over site or size in primary lung sarcomas; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger cohorts.

In primary sarcomas of the lung, tumour grading appears to be a more useful prognostic factor than tumour site or size, with an overall survival of 28 months.
Attanoos et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Primary sarcomas of the lung (n=14). Tumour characteristics (grading, site, size) was evaluated on Overall survival. Among 14 patients with primary lung sarcomas, overall survival was 28 months, and tumour grading appeared to be a more useful prognostic factor than tumour site or size.
