abstract = {Background: Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a mixed glandular and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with more aggressive behavior than the other histologic subtypes of lung cancer. We aim to evaluate the prognosis of patients with ASC after surgical resection.
Methods: We reviewed records of patients who underwent surgical resection for lung cancer in two institutes between January 2010 and December 2015. Survival data were collected with a median follow-up of 59 (range from 10 to 85) months. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was determined for all patients.
Results: Patients with ASC accounted for 1.6% of all NSCLC patients (33 males, 25 females). The cumulative postoperative 3- and 5-year survival rates were 56% and 48%, respectively. Overall survival (OS) was significantly lower in ASC patients than in adenocarcinoma (AC) patients operated during the same period (P},
